The 3rd will be a $100 charge for Bell Ringers, which will give members the opportunity to come to the podium, to ring the bell and to him 2 minutes of an open mic to promote, for example, (a) their businesses, (b) their children’s fundraisers, or (c) their special events.

Ashlea Boyer, chair of the SS auction, stated that we need about 100 or more silent auction items, which averages out to 2 items of approximate $50 value per member. Sharon Ellis and Karen Zappia are the co-chairs of SS sales and all members should turn in their tickets and money to either co-chair as soon as possible. Steve Curry spoke on behalf of Paul Holden, chair of the RI Foundation , regarding the 18 Paul Harris Fellows that is our goal for this year. Sandy Lubin is the Club’s membership chair with the assistance of Joel Conn, Sharon Ellis and the entire Club.
