Just a reminder that we traditionally gather cash donations to show our appreciation to Bahaa for his flawless service to our club. He sets up our meetings, knows each and every one of us and our drink preference and is patiently supportive when plans change at the last minute.  His envelope was passed around at the December 4th meeting, if you have not contributed and would like to add to our gift, please look for the envelope at the start of tomorrow's meeting.

Thanks to your generous support, we will be sponsoring two families this holiday season. A heartfelt thanks is extended to everyone who signed up for a child's wish from the lists provided. PLEASE bring your wrapped gift with an identifying tag (i.e., Bailey - Age 6) to our December 11 or December 18 meeting.

STARDATE 28 MARCH 2015: You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You are about to boldly go where no Rotarian has gone before - to Space, the final frontier.

 

Yeah, I mixed up about five different television shows there but the end result is the same: you are invited to embrace your inner nerd, climb into your space cadet uniform and get LOST IN SPACE at our annual FUNdraiser on Saturday, March 28, 2015.

 

Full details will be released shortly but PLEASE mark your calendars, save the date and invite your friends and family to join us for this year's wild and crazy night of fun and fellowship.
