From the Prez
 
I am always amazed at how things can come together when you thought there was no
chance. We have new officers, giving us a full slate for the next two Rotary years. We
have brought in new members that are engaged and productive. This is a good time for our club, let’s keep the momentum and energy we have and put it to good use making the world a better place.
