• As Carl Robicheaux has said, our golf tournament is VERY important this year trying to make up for funds missed from canceling our tournament last year. Our club members seem to be really “stepping up“ to raise the money for scholarships! Please keep up the strong work! (The tournament is less than two weeks away.)
• Only a few spots are left for the Club Social at Snowy Peaks Winery. You are cordially invited to join your friends at the event!
• You will enjoy and be challenged by Dr. Ricky Frierson’s discussion this week! He has been meeting with several members of our club and other town members over the past six months initiated by our Immediate Past President, Bill Solms. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

• The Legion is hosting a 20th anniversary of 9/11 with a memorial service followed by a meal.  They are seeking volunteers.
• There are still seven slots for the Club Social on 9/30.
• President Jim thanked those who volunteered and helped the Sunrise Rotary with their Arts and Craft show.
• Annie read two Thank You letters from previous scholarship winners: Fazeel Bhatti and Isabella Fanucchi.
• Carl thanked all who had donated to the upcoming golf tournament and asked all members to consider donating.  A plate made by Pete Sinnott was given to Karol Rinehart thanking her for her donation.

• Jim Austin announced Jack Overly would like to move back to Estes.  

Annie Slack presented Karol Rinehart with her Paul Harris award.
