President's Message for the Rotary Tack
 
This is it, the last week to get your auction items in.  The hard deadline is February 26, 2016 so please, please double your efforts and get your items in by Friday.  I am sure that the people who will then deal with the processing of the inventory will appreciate it.
 
At the beginning of my year we solicited proposals for community projects.  After considering the couple we received we decided to help out the Community Bicycle Center with its trails in the back of its Granite Street property which should be a fun hands-on event.  We are targeting the date of May 21 to do the project so please mark your calendar now.  Andy has promised that gas power tools will be required which should be the only draw we need.
