Dear Rotarians and Friends,
 
Thank you to Art Fisher for joining us with information on what a Peace Club is and how to achieve that designation.  And projects that promote peace and support communities like the personal sized solar lights that are sent across the world and used by students, doctors, travelers.
 
Are you ready for the Club’s 60th Anniversary 60s themed social with District Governor Marta Brown?  Get ready for a groovy time!  DG Marta will meet with the board at 5:15 and the festivities will begin by 6.  Come early and buy something from the bar to sip.  All bar proceeds will go to Polio Plus!  
 
This week we will hear from two of our newest members:  Mikyung– her company is Jeden Biosciences, and Nancy D’Atillio –imparting words of wisdom from years as an educator.
