We had several presentations and announcements.  Michelle Schrage introduced Rob LaMagna-Reiter who talked about how to protect your business from cyber threats. The RISK bag was at $163 and Kevin Welsh won a free lunch. 

 

 

 

Join us for dinner at the first After Hours of the Rotary year hosted by John Hoich at his house on Tuesday, August 29th from 5-8pm.  Please sign up online so he knows how many to expect for food.
