Hanging Judge Kevin Welsh and Secretary Dave Laferla handed out some fines and recognized birthdays. Jim Leslie introduced Tom Goutierre who talked about the situation in the middle east and the challenges facing the new administration. The RISK bag was at $592 and Nate Schwalb won a free lunch.

Rotary Foundation

In this 100th Anniversary year of the Rotary Foundation, the committee will also be recognizing all Paul Harris Sustaining Members (donations of $100 or more this Rotary year) with a special 100th Anniversary pin. (If you have not gotten your pin yet and have been at a meeting where we are handing them out, please let Jennifer know- we don't want to miss anyone!)

The Rotary Foundation is the charity of Rotary. Through Rotary grants, people around the world are served with educational opportunities, health services, clean water, vaccinations, and nutrition. We ask every Rotarian to consider a gift of $100 each year (Every Rotarian Every Year) toward these programs. Thank you to those who have donated this year already! The fastest way to donate is by going to myrotary.org or you can give a check to a committee member at Rotary.
