THE LAST UPDATE FOR "ROTARY WEEK" WAS ON OCTOBER 29, 2015

AT THE OCTOBER 28th  MEETING,  PRESIDENT SALLY CONDUCTED THE MEETING USING THE  CLUB'S  PA SYSTEM.     IT WORKED GOOD AND WILL BE GOOD FOR GUEST SPEAKERS TO USE ALSO. 

ONE OF THE NEWEST MEMBERS, JUDY TUCKER GAVE THE PROGRAM ON  HOSPICE.     OF INTEREST WAS THE FACT THAT NOW, HOSPICE IS NOT JUST FOR THE LAST DAYS OF LIFE, BUT CAN BE HELPFUL MUCH EARLIER AND EVEN PROLONG LIVES.

EVERY ROTARIAN HAS A NAME TAG AND IT DOES NO GOOD IN THE BOX ....SO, STARTING AT THE NEXT MEETING, THOSE WHO DO NOT WEAR
THEIR TAG FOR THE MEETING WILL BE
FINED $1.
