Last week Christopher Pfanenstiel and C.L. Landen served as greeters. We had several presentations and announcements. Hanging Judge Kevin Welsh handed out some fines. Nick Jasa filled in as Secretary and recognized December birthdays. Bob Mundy introduced John Dechant who talked about his book "Scoreless" and the process of writing it. The RISK bag was at $558 and Dan Lupardus won a free lunch.

Rotary Foundation

In this 100th Anniversary year of the Rotary Foundation, the committee will also be recognizing all Paul Harris Sustaining Members (donations of $100 or more this Rotary year) with a special 100th Anniversary pin.

The Rotary Foundation is the charity of Rotary. Through Rotary grants, people around the world are served with educational opportunities, health services, clean water, vaccinations, and nutrition. We ask every Rotarian to consider a gift of $100 each year (Every Rotarian Every Year) toward these programs. Thank you to those who have donated this year already! The fastest way to donate is by going to myrotary.org or you can give a check to a committee member at Rotary.
