Last week re-cap

Last week John Hoich and Michael Wehling served as Greeters. Bill Wax gave the invocation. We had several announcements and presentations. Dave Laferla introduced Tom Hannam, a former Suburban Rotary Scholarship winner, who told us about his life after winning. He has served in the Peace Corps and traveled around the world, never letting his disability define him. The RISK bag was at $453 and Dave Laferla won a free lunch.

Last week of annual fundraiser

Just a week left for you to support our annual fundraiser! Can you make a donation of any amount to help us reach our goal?

We are conducting our annual Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation fundraiser for the next several weeks. Our goal is 40K. We ask every Rotarian to make a donation of any size to support all of our great projects. Donors of $300 or more (pledge or cash) will be recognized as members of the President's Scholarship Circle. Examples that your donations support are our global grants to Afghanistan and Togo, the homeless foot clinic, meal packaging, donations to veterans, support for Crestridge school and our amazing scholarship program. YOU make all this possible! CLICK HERE TO DONATE ONLINE

Thank you to those who have already donated or pledged support this year! (Scholarship Circle members are in bold)

We continue to recognize President's Scholarship Circle Members each week. Thank you!

Elmwood Rotary Golfers

Looking for a fun way to get attendance credit? Consider joining our golfing group.

The Elmwood Rotary Golfers are a group of Suburban Rotarians who meet at Elmwood Park every Tuesday at noon to play golf and enjoy

Fellowship. Jeff Moran is the current coordinator, (which rotates among the golfers.) Golfers are on a list which is emailed weekly to determine

the number of players so that tee times can be made with the Elmwood pro. Last minute walk-ons will not work. All Rotarians are welcome. Notify

Jeff Moran if you are interested in participating.
