ANNOUNCEMENTS
Ted announced that it is time to begin looking for silent auction merchandise and services for our Reverse Draw. Once again if each Rotarian could find two or three S/A items the silent auction would be a better success. We should have 60 to 70 items. Deliver the items to Ted, at least a photograph so that the signage can be made up.
