SPEAKER OF THE WEEK
 
In lieu of a speaker, President Rinus took the opportunity to review the highlights of the first half of his year, and the various contributions made to local charities during that period.  He also led a discussion of how we do some of our good work through things such as the birthday fund, the scholarship foundation, the new freshman fund, and Rotary International.
 
There was also some lively discussion about how to make new members more visible in the Club.
