We were joined by our spouses and it made for a very pleasant evening.

The Officers for 2020-2021:
Treasurer - John Lohuis
Secretary - Brian Clark
President-Elect - Jay Weiler.
Membership - Tom Simmons.
Foundation - Keith Hodgkinson.
Fund Raising - Mike Donnelly.
Mike then touched on matters of interest due to the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic. He spoke of the need to combine our fund raising with visibility in the community. We need to increase our membership and possibly change our meeting format. We should also be asking prospective members what kind of projects they want to do in Rotary.
Trivia Contest:
Jay and Shelley arranged a Trivia Contest relating to Tillsonburg history and Rotary Club history. We all had fun and lots of laughs as memories were recalled of good times past.
