It's a busy week for West Rotary and we have a few things to cover!
Last Week: No meeting
Last week we had no service project or meeting last week. 
This week: No Regular Meeting; 5th Wednesday Event on July 31st 
As a reminder, we will not be having a meeting this week as we will be doing our 5th Wednesday Event which will be held at Chophouse Downtown in the Lounge on July 31st from 5pm-7pm. Our guest speaker will be our very own club Rotarian and Cedar Rapids At-large Councilman David Maier. He will be giving us a general update of what’s happening across Cedar Rapids, as well as, fielding any questions or concerns from the audience
 
Rotary West will be providing some delicious appetizers via the Chophouse and drinks will be at attendees' expense!
Later this week: The Big Drop is here!!!!
The Big Drop is Aug 3rd is this Saturday at the Farmers Market!(East corner of Green Square Park) We usually start setting up around 7am and the Market opens at 730am. The Drop will be at 11am, hope to see you there!
 
Let's keep pushing ball sales! Current ball sales are at roughly 2000 so we really need to make those sales to reach our low goal of 4000.
 
This is our only fundraiser of the year so let's all do our part in each selling $200 worth of balls - as always you are free to sell more! Meet, call, text, or email any friends, family, and acquaintances who you may think would even buy just one ball.
 
Please update Tom VanderVaart every few days of any ball sales that are made by cash or check so he can keep the spreadsheet updated. Tom can be reached by stopping by House of Carpets (2712 1st Ave NE- same parking lot as Tomasos), texted at 319-899-3509 or emailed at tom@myhouseofcarpets.com
 
Refer people to https://thebigdropcr.com/ or the Venmo profile here.(If paying by Venmo, make sure a phone number is given!)
 
We will also have physical tickets as well. If you still need tickets or additional tickets they are on the cart at the museum.
