Our newest club member, Jackie Macenas, is the Senior Executive Director of Sunrise Senior Living in Buffalo Grove. We are glad to have you in our club!
Brian and Tom are trying to get an accurate list of who has, and who has not, made their Every Rotarian Every Year contribution. The issue is that some individuals make their contribution directly to Rotary, and they do not know about it because it did not go through our club.
So if anyone has made their 2018/2019 EREY contribution directly to Rotary, please let Tom about it in an email so that he can track it down: TJKloepfer@att.net
The bulletin editor (Martha) will be out of town so no bulletin for the March 21 meeting.
