Last week Deanna Fuller and Andrew Weseley served as our greeters. Amanda Fink gave our invocation. Secretary Dave Laferla introduced our guests and recognized birthdays and "brag for bucks". We had several announcements and presentations. Holly Hollenbeck introduced motivational speaker and coach Van Deeb who talked about how to avoid being average. The RISK bag was at $1032 and Warren Hill won a free lunch.
This event is being co-sponsored by Suburban Rotary in an effort to raise awareness on the issue of Modern Slavery. Please join us (and invites guests) for a preview of the exhibit, drinks, and appetizers. Of course you get attendance credit! Suburban Rotary is also helping to sponsor the lecture on April 6th.
