Please send all social media items to Annie.  She is doing a great job keeping our Facebook page updated. Please send any pictures of projects or events to her so that we can get people excited about our club.  Speaking of social, every month with a 5th Wednesday, we replace our morning meeting with a social gathering in the evening. 
 
A friendly reminder to all new members with blue sheets, our board meeting is the second Friday of every month.  Our next meeting is Friday March 13, 2026 at City Hall at 7:15 am.  All members are welcome.  Yes, it is another Friday the 13th.
 
Service before self starts with you doing service, let's get out there and make a difference!!
 
Thank you!!
Openings on the Board of Directors to be filled

It's that time of year when we have to recognize Board members for their service and then nominate and elect new Board members.  At the end of June, 3 members will be ending their terms and new members are needed.  Those members are Annette Oborn, Dick Hall, and John Pribonic.  At the next Board meeting on March 13th, a Nominating Committee will be formed to find the replacements.  The committee will comprise of the current President, Bob Sweitzer, President Elect, Mary Parr, 2 other Board members, and 2 club members chosen by a majority of the Board.  If you are interested in being considered for a position on the committee, please reach out to either myself or a member of the Board and let us know.  Also, if you would like to be considered for a position to be a Board member, let us know so that you may be considered and your name presented in a formal nomination.

Tentatively, April 22nd meeting will be the day for the elections to be held.  Floor nominations and seconds will be accepted through the meeting on April 15th.  This is a great way to serve the club and be an integral part of the process.

Thank you.

Grant Training Classes Being Held

It is hard to imagine that a year has gone by and the Grant Training Seminars are being offered.  It is mandatory that 2 members of the Club participate in the seminars.  The particulars can be found on the District website with a link to sign up for either Wednesday, March 4th at 6:30pm - 8:30pm or, the final session on Saturday, March 21st at 9:30am-11:30am.

Our Club has just completed a successful grant for the 2025-2026 year with the golf simulator for the field house at the High School.  Our club members have been generous enough in the past that we also are eligible for the 2026-2027 Rotary year as well.  We need to have the 2 members attend the training and have a good idea for a worthwhile project that will support the community and fit into one of the 7 areas of Rotary Focus.  

Please check out the District website and sign up for the training sessions.    Thank you.
