DUES - There is just a handful of members who have not responded to the February 28 letter about outstanding dues.
To those who have brought their dues up to date, THANK YOU!
To those who have not taken the opportunity to do so, phone calls will be made for in-person catchup to remind them how important their participation is and how fellowship with them has been missed.

Why are you a Rotarian and what Rotary activities
make you come to breakfast at 7:30 a.m. each week?
How did you learn about one of the
largest service-based organizations in the world?...
(The only non-government, non-profit organization that
was requested to help form the United Nations
and, still today, the only non-government organization to
maintain an office at United Nations Plaza, NYC.)
Would you like to share your Rotary experience with
your Rotary family? Let the speakers
committee know (Mike Elkin, Don Doliber,
Margaret Greene). Be it brief or a bit longer, your Rotary
friends would like to hear from you!
Don't be shy.
***********************************************************
Bringing a guest to Rotary...Easy-Peasey!
Do you have a friend who would like to enjoy
breakfast with you and hear an interesting speaker?
(Check out the calendar to the right for speaker schedule.)
Or, when you mention you are a Rotarian, has
someone asked you, "What is Rotary all about?"
Easy-peasy response: "Come to breakfast with me on
Tuesday to see us at work."
Inviting someone to Rotary is not hard...
Simply let Linda or Jessica know when
you will be bringing someone.

THE LEE AND BARRY WEED SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP
There is still an opportunity for accepting additional donations to increase the amount already allocated to the scholarship. Please see Linda or Jessica for specifics if you are considering making a donation.
*******************************************************
ENDING POLIO
The District initiative may have ended, but there is still an opportunity to create an activity that could morph into a fundraiser for the Foundation's Polio Plus effort. Speak to a Board member with your idea(s).
Let's put our creative minds together
to raise funds for this Rotary initiative.
Put your thinking caps on, please!
Don't forget to include the Rotary Foundation's
Polio Plus campaign in your charitable giving list.
