Notes and Updates for the Club:
- The District Assembly is scheduled for Saturday, April 5 in Geneseo.  There is no charge for any member to attend; please let Tom Breen know if you would like to go.  New members in particular are encouraged to attend.
- The District Conference is May 2 – 4 in Burlington, Vermont.  Information and registration are available on the district website.
- The Palmyra-Macedon High School is sponsoring a health fair March 15 at the high school.  Our club will have a table there.  If you would like to help out, please contact Pam Dean.
- Our dessert auction was quite successful, raising $380 for the Rotary Foundation.
- As has been the custom, in November, the club sent to the Rotary Foundation $5 on behalf of our members for the “Give Me 5” campaign.  The dessert auction is where we reimburse the club for those contributions.  Any member who did not attend is asked to make their $5 donation at their earliest convenience.
- Pam sent an email to all members recently asking for help with a project.  She would like us all to share with her a favorite vacation spot.  If you haven’t responded yet, please do so as soon as possible.
- Did you read the district newsletter for February?  Our club was mentioned six times!

Congratulations to Vicky, winner of $9 in this week’s 50/50 drawing.
