Rotarians help food packing at Two Rivers
Rotarians Colleen Watson, Dave Hanson, and Co-Prez David Miller, helped Two Rivers High School students with a Harvest Pack event last Monday.  We helped pack 21,120 meals.  What an effort and what a wonderful group of students.  The students were very friendly and engaging.  Our future is in good hands.  Enjoy the pictures.

Thanksgiving Eve was at the Copperfield
Rotarians met at the Copperfield last week and had a wonderful time.  Guests were Joe Hommes and Sue Hanson!
Something new to meetings
The board would like to have a local businesses present a 3 minute introduction to their company at each meeting.
Please let Dave Hanson know if you get someone and he'll add to the schedule.
One 3 minute presentation at each meeting would be the goal.
Thanks in advance.
 
Fundraising Ideas
The board is looking for creative fundraising ideas and a team to coordinate activities.  Maybe we'll see a pickleball tournament next summer?  Please contact any board member if you have some ideas.  Thank you!  Board members:  Don McCall, David Miller, Susan Hommes, Valarie Namen, Alan Ruvelson, Mark Landy or Bob Gullick.
