    Our 2007-2008 District Governor, Denny Kurir, will be at tomorrow's meeting for introduction and to announce his programs for the year ahead. Please attend to show your Rotary support for our new District Governor.


    Calendar Project Deadline is nearing!

    The project has a great leadership team in place with Bill Hufford, Linda Moore and Maria Simmons. The calendar project also has great support with Linda Johnson and Vicki Helmick heading the advertising solicitation, plus Ivan Mao heading calendar distribution. We always can use extra hands in this committee. If any club member is interested in helping please contact anyone in the committee or your president.
    Any club member that has participated with an ad the 2007 calendar is encouraged to renew participation for the 2008 calendar now. You should have received your sign-up sheet already. Please contact Linda Johnston or Vicki Helmick to secure your ad.
    If you do not want a business ad in the calendar you may still participate by providing a donation recognition block. It can be a message the size of a business card, or a listing on a calendar date (space permitting). Let the community know it's your (or grandchildren's) birthday. (See August 5th in the calendar for a sample idea) Don't delay - get your calendar ad or message in today!
    As soon as we get all the renewals in from last calendar's participants, Linda and Vicki need to bring in new ads from the community. Can you help by providing a referral for an ad? Bring your referrals and checks to Linda or Vicki tomorrow!
