Announcements: Keith Roy reminded us of the Fireside to be held at Teddie Pasut's home on Feb 1st from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Let's make this a full house! A great opportunity for newer members to socialize and learn more about Rotary. Keith needs to know who is coming - and WHAT APPETISER YOU WILL BE BRINGING.
