This week at Rotary members shared many of their recent experiences.
The DCF Picnic is August 10. Gerrit will send out an email looking for volunteers to set up, which will be between 4 and 6. Anyone with a vehicle that can help move the grills from the Plummer Home to the Willows should consider themselves on call! The cookout will be at the field at the Willows. We likely will have a bouncy house but Gerrit will be requesting any fun games. You can expect there to be a magician and cotton candy maker.
The Fundraising Committee and the International Committee both had a meeting today. Boat Building Committee is meeting next week BEFORE Rotary at 11:30. Dick Moore had a recent heart attack and is recovering and is optimistic. Definitely feel free to reach out and send him some Rotary love.
