JOHN'S NEWSLETTER NOTES   The kick-off meeting of the 2022 Mini Golf Committee will be May 31 at 5 pm. The meeting will begin with a short social and then to business. If you are willing to serve on this committee along with myself and several other Rotarians who have already committed, please let me know. We need the help.   This Saturday, May 21, the Luncheon Club is hosting a Rotary community social at Celebration Park. The event is open to the general public and is free. Apparently, the Luncheon Club has plenty of volunteers as I have not received any requests for more help. If you are planning on attending, I think it would be good to wear your Rotary shirt, hat or other attire that has a Rotary logo.   There will be no meeting on Monday, May 30 as this is Memorial Day.   Our guest speaker this week is Rick Reichel (Melrose Company). See his Bio below.
