Great Fireside Meeting by President Elect Dane
President Elect Dane hosted a very informative and interactive Fireside meeting on Thursday for his upcoming year as President, and followed up with this message to our club members the day after the meeting:
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your attendance and support last night at the Rotary Fireside!  I appreciate all of the great ideas and comments on our BG Rotary future as I head into the presidency.
 
In case you weren't able to attend last night's meeting, or if you would like to have another gander at the presentation, I have provided a link to it below:
 
 
Feel free to like and share as you see fit!

Best,
President-Elect Dane
