We plan to move to "In Person" Meetings as quickly as regulations allow and the early focus will be on the fellowship that so many have been missing.
 
Lynda Kavanagh (membership director) will make fellowship a priority at weekly meetings.
Todd Brown (Community Services director) is planning hands on service projects that feature the fellowship of working together.
A WEEK AT THE PUB. Every night for one week Rotarians will be invited to gather for fellowship from 5 -7 PM at Honkers Pub. Bring your partner. Come one night....come every night....stay just as long as you can. A chance for Rotarians to reconnect.
More to come when reopening guidelines are known.
 
This week Vicky Vanden Hoek from Honkers Pub gave a very engaging presentation on "a year in the life of a Restauranteur during Covid.  My takeaway: We all need support and we all need to give support.
