Allan Finnigan asked the effect of this on our current loan to the Village (answer unknown at this time)

Past President Hilda Finnigan: It is that time of year again when we are looking for volunteers to work the registration desk and be a greeter and write the bulletin, during our summer months of July and August. If everyone signs up for one week at a time, the summer will be covered. A little work by all of us sure lightens the work load for a few of us. Don’t let Rotary burnout happen to any of our members. Give them a hand. A Sign Up Sheet is going around.
