Congratulations to Chairperson Jane Boynton and her committee...what a show.

Looking for the ROTARIAN OF THE YEAR.

   A highlight of the installation banquet (this year scheduled for June 14th) is the naming of the Rotarian of the year.  Unfortunately the committee seldom gets this right, but we have high hopes for this year.
   The honor is named for Dr. Bipinchandra P. Pancholi, a member of the club from 1979 until his death in 2001.  Bipin was the perfect example of Rotary in his daily life and service to our club.
   Nominations for the awasrd should be submitted by June 2nd.  Mail them to the Rotary Club, P.O. Box 222, East Greenwich, RI 02818, or hand deliver to John Wolcott, Richard Waterman or Judy Pratt.
