The new Rotary year will commence with two special meetings:
Our Club Assembly will be on Wednesday, July 12th; this will include an open discussion of goals and plans for this year, and our club's overall direction.
Then on Wednesday, July 19th we will set aside meeting time for club committees; assignments will be handed out by then, and any committee needing discussion time can do so during this meeting...instead of having to take up time afterwards.
Similar opportunities will be provided throughout the year.
As is customary, the Sycamore Rotary Club will be collecting donations for the annual Country Music Show school supply concert in DeKalb.
Rotarians are asked to bring supplies such as writing paper, notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons, glue, rulers, backpacks and other school items to the July 12th Rotary Club meeting.
These items will be donated during the ninth annual show, to be held on Sunday, July 16th at the Taylor Street Plaza High-rise at 507 East Taylor Street in DeKalb.

Sycamore Rotarian Brian Adams has been named the recipient of the 2016-2017 John W. Ovitz, Jr. Rotarian of the Year Award. He was officially presented with the award during the Installation Brunch on Sunday, June 25th at Faranda's in downtown DeKalb.
This award is named in honor of Dr. John Ovitz, who was the longest-serving Rotarian in the club's history.
Brian becomes the first two-time recipient of the award, as a recent rules change makes previous winners eligible after five years.
