Members and guests of The Rotary Club of Rochester will meet this Thursday for Rotary After Hours, 5:30 - 7:00 pm in The Sticks (a small room off the main dining room) at Twigs Tavern and Grille. There will be no midday gathering. Going forward, Rotary After Hours will take place the first Thursday of each month and replace Service First Thursday. Rotary After Hours will provide an opportunity to socialize, network, and introduce guests to Rotary.

Thank you to Rotarian Kristine Ihrke and Twigs for their hospitality hosting us in this location.
