Good Morning Rotarians.
 
Here are the meeting notes from February 26th.
 
Tom Warren gave the opening words.
 
Announcements:
 
  1. The Executive Board hasrecommended that plans for the Substance Abuse Awareness run should be revised.  Holding the event in April is too ambitious and there needs to be more club input on the planning process.  Harry Wolhandler has stepped up to be the leader on the event.  Many thanks to Bob Meissner for the amount of time he has put into this effort.
  2. Bill Gurney indicated that a few more applicants for the March 23rd RYLA event have been received, but not enough to go forward.  A decision whether or not to hold the event will be made this week.
  3. An evening meeting  has been proposed for May 7th
  4. 2019 Rotary District Meeting will be held in Danvers, MA May 3-5th.
  5. The Rotary Leadership conference on March 16th at Concord Community College.   Please contact Dale or me if you are interested in attending.
