Greeting Rotarians! It was nice to have such a good turnout at last week's meeting. After several months of focusing primarily on our annual golf outing, we can again focus on community volunteering for such activities as DC West's Food Basket program. This week, our guest will be Scott Keep, Assistant District Governor. Hope that everyone can participate in person! Thanks ... see you Thursday!
