With the weather conditions expected to deteriorate overnight, and taking the safety of our members into account, the decision has been made to cancel the Rotary meeting today. I hope you all have the good fortune to hunker down until this passes and hope for safe travels if you must commute.
We had an excellent Club Rotary Visioning Retreat on March 20th. We reviewed the club member survey results and completed a visioning exercise. Past District Governor, Blaine Johnson, facilitated the event.
