* As always, service projects and events organized by other district 5495 clubs are listed here and in the calendar section of the website.  Please let Rebecca know if you have something to add.

From the Prez
Another district conference tells us it is time for a new Rotary year. We are grateful to have Dale Barnes as our successor to the presidency.

With prior presidential experience, the transition to her new role will be smooth. Our small but mighty club goes on. There will be some new members coming this Rotary year; it seems people shift as the new year progresses.

Here's to another great year for our club, members, and the great things we will do.
