No Meeting December 22nd or 29th.
 
 
Our next meeting will be January 5, 2023!
 
In the meantime, Happy Holidays enjoying your family and friends.
Update by President Dennis Gellhaus
 
It has never been a high priority of mine to make New Year’s resolutions.  If I ever have something in mind, it never seems to last.  So, my sense is to continue to live in the “now” and to use whatever gifts I have been given, to continue the journey and hopefully make this world a bit better in my corner.
 
For all of my Rotary friends, I wish you good health, plenty of joy, and love to share.  Take with you the best that life has to offer and we will begin the year 2023 ready and refreshed to continue the work of service above self!
 
Thanks for listening.
Dennis
