This week Pal-Mac Rotary inducted our newest member, Michele Waege. Michele was sponsored by Maurina Schmidt and is currently working at the Macedon branch of Lyons National Bank.
We also want to celebrate Jenn Habecker, a Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Agent, who joined our club last fall and was sponsored by Eric Chapman.. Due to changeovers in publicity staff we are behind in our notifications and are working hard to catch up. We are grateful to have both of these professional women join our club.
