Introducing our club's logo which will be on display at Somerset Elementary School

Something new to meetings
The board would like to have local businesses present a 3 minute introduction to their company at each meeting.
Please let Dave Hanson know if you have someone and he'll add them to the meeting schedule.
One 3 minute presentation at each meeting would be the goal.
Thanks in advance.
