From the Prez
We have momentum.
 
With that movement comes opportunity to get involved. Here is an update.

The board has proposed the slate of officers for the next term. You will be asked to vote on the group at our next meeting.

Each club needs to send two people to grants training. This is actually educational and
informative. You see how your donations are leveraged and serve the avenues of focus in
Rotary. Look at the available dates and let me know if you can make one, we need your
participation. There is a grants training at the Rotary Leadership Academy, (RLA) on March 8, a
good opportunity to do that training and learn a lot more.
 
Register soon!
