President's Message

Greetings,
 
It's Spring!!!  More daylight, warmer temperatures, and even showers give us a fresh feel.  I feel more energized at this time of the year.  May we all feel that way as we continue our Rotary work.
 
Sherry has made contacts to recruit volunteers and get referrals for yards to be cleaned on Neighbors' Day, April 25.  This project is growing in terms of numbers of volunteers and yards.  It is a worthwhile project that impacts the homeowners and the volunteers as well.  Members, you'll have an opportunity to help out.
 
Dan attended the PETS conference in Eagen, MN and is fired up to lead our club beginning July 1st.  He has some plans to grow our club.
 
Members have received an email with an update to our club's by-laws.  Questions and comments may be offered at the April 4th and 11th meetings.  We will have a final reading and vote on it April 18.
 
In Rotary Service,
Naomi
