Notes and Updates for the Club:
   Our regular club meeting on March 13 will be an evening meeting at the American Legion in Palmyra.  A sign-up sheet was passed around at today’s meeting, and will be available at the next meeting, so that we can make a more accurate estimate for the dinner count.  This is part of an effort to attract new members by having one evening event each month.  If you know someone who might be interested in meeting us, please invite them along.
   The Sodus Rotary Club would like you to know about an upcoming fundraiser concert featuring Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out.  The Bluegrass performers appear at the Sodus Central School Auditorium March 23.  Tickets are $20 and available at the Sodus Rotary website: http://www.sodusrotary.org/events/
   Our annual joint Lions/Rotary meeting will take place on April 16.  Details to follow – watch this space!
   The District Assembly is scheduled for April 13 at the Red Jacket High School in Shortsville.  There is no charge for any member of our club to attend this informative event.  We will start sign-ups at the club assembly on the 27th.
   The GSE Team from Sweden and Latvia will be with us March 23 – March 26.  The team is made up of 3 women and 2 men.  Pat is still looking for someone to host; please contact her if you can help.
