Weekly Bulletin

Steve Boucher

Hello everyone!

Hope you were able to be out and about this weekend to enjoy the warm temps. I was able to take a minute to check out the ice at the Jesup trail and Great Meadow, so beautiful and surreal. Do yourself a favor and take an opportunity to go over and see it. Bring skates!

Please join us this week at Birch Bay for a brief Club Assembly and a little something we are calling SPEED DATING - ROTARIAN STYLE! It will be a fun time to get to know your fellow Rotarians a little better.

Also of quick note, if you have not made a contribution yet to The Rotary Foundation, please consider doing so. We are always hoping to have 100% participation year in and out. Thus far, we have around 60% of the club participating. Our club will match any donation made up to $50. Every bit helps!

Hope to see you all Wednesday, have a great week!

Best,

Steve
