The omicron variant has sparked an increase in COVID-19 cases locally.

To ensure the continued health of our members,

we've rescheduled our January 18th club meeting
as a Zoom session instead of a face-to-face event.

In-person meetings will resume as conditions dictate.

We meet the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 12:00 PM.

Zoom meetings open at 11:45 for those who'd like to socialize before the program begins.

Many thanks to members who contributed to this year's Coats for Kids clothing drive.

We delivered 21 coats to the Unity Shoppe for distribution to local children whose winters will be a little warmer because of your generosity.

Happy New Year, Rotarians! I hope everyone had a healthy, happy, and restful holiday season.

As we begin 2022 my hope is we can get past the worst of the pandemic and have our lives return to some sense of normal.

At present, the omicron variant is spreading through our community, the country and the world at rapid speed. As a result, the following decisions have been made:

The District 5240 Conference & Foundation Gala (originally scheduled for Jan 28th -30th) has been postponed indefinitely.
Our January 18th Club meeting has been rescheduled as a Zoom session

Please continue to be vigilant and do your best to limit your risk and that of your family, friends and co-workers.

I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming community service events in 2022. Anita continues to do an amazing job setting up impactful community service events that are “hands on” and fun!

Kati and her team continue to schedule interesting speakers for our meetings. One of the upcoming highlights is a visit by District 5240 Governor Dana Moldovan.

Let us go forth and do well in service in 2022!

Thanks, Tony, for being an outstanding ambassador for our club!
