Our Meeting Today Will Be At The Renaissance HotelMeet President Kat and the Reno Central Rotary Committee Chairs at the first meeting of the 2017-2018 Rotary Year! Because the Peppermill has some space challenges this week, we will be meeting at the Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel (Address: One South Lake Street, Reno). The meeting will begin at 12:15 PM. Come join us and learn more about Rotary—where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.
