Potluck at YMCA Camp Kitaki
A potluck picnic will be held on Thursday, May 11th at the YMCA Camp Kitaki for the Lincoln East Rotarians and guests.  It will be from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the campgrounds.  Bring a dish to share, and you may bring your own meat to grill, as there is a grill available.  This is an opportunity for guests and Rotarians to see what has been done at the camp for the woodwork shop and to enjoy good fellowship.  This is work that was done through a District Grant which we received for the 2022-2023 Rotary year.
