January 2024
 
Happy New Year!
 
It's the time of year when some people make resolutions to improve them physically, mentally, etc.  However, most of us tend to forget them before February.  Actually we do a similar thing when we set goals for our Rotary club for the year.  We need to review them periodically too.  We'll do that before long.
 
Thanks to Joe Welch, Sherry Sime, Ashley Dress, Dan and Jan Small, Tom and Rocky Danielson for serving on our S'Mores teams!  Thanks to Randy and Mary Mell, Tom Danielson, Arien O'Heron, Julie and Lonny Dodson, Sherry Sime for unloading food at the Food Shelf. . .about 2800 pounds of it.  Special thanks to Randy for taking the trailer to Riverside Park and back to Caledonia both nights.
 
Election of officers for 2024-2025 will be elected at our January 5 club meeting.   The Board brings forth the following:  President--Naomi Fruechte; President-elect--Dan Small; Secretary--Ashley Dress; Treasurer--Craig Ihrke.  
 
Our holiday party was a success.  Good food, good fellowship and lots of conversation.
 
Naomi
