Hi all,
While Tom Dickman suffered a heart attack two weeks ago he is up and around and still doing great things for the TEF, help him out with sponsors if you can! We are glad you are feeling better Tom!
Our own District 6400 Governor Noel Jackson had his other hip replaced Tuesday. This amazing Super HERO is already back at it and dancing! WE have amazing resilient members!
We were presented numbers for our investment accounts by Bill Konchal at our board meeting last week, if you would like a copy emailed, please let me know. He will also be speaking to our club in November.
Our Pennies for Polio push resulted in $576.10 so far, thanks to all who donated!
FYI, Our quarterly bill should be going out soon after Oct. 31, thank you for your prompt payment and please contact us if any changes with your membership and remember we ask for any changes in writing as the board must be made aware of member requests. Thank you!
It's the Year of ACTION H.E.R.O's., Support our District 6400 Governor Noel, Hands On Projects and Member engagement through Peace, Kindness and ACTION!
Yours in Rotary,
Kathy Kane
