Annual Fundraiser

Two weeks ago we kicked off our Annual Fundraiser for the Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation with a presentation on the state of the Foundation, where the funds go, and an update on the scholarship program. If you missed this meeting, you can watch the program (about 20 minutes) by CLICKING HERE. You will need the password: 7?s4XQbw You can also see the Powerpoint presentation HERE.

Please consider a donation to our fundraiser this year. $300 puts you in the Presidents' Scholarship Circle. Online donations can be made on our website under DONATE HERE at the top or you can donate at a meeting. Consider monthly donations- only $25 a month puts you in the Scholarship Circle.

Last week we recognized the first members of this year's Presidents' Circle. Thank you all!

Thanks to those who have already donated!

Please register for the Scholarship Luncheon in advance. CLICK HERE to sign up online. Cost is $30. Thursday, April 20th at 11:30 am at Happy Hollow Club.

After Hours

Thanks to Integrated Solutions and Curt Peters and Dan Lupardus for hosting a fun event last week! Please reach out to Dan Hosford if you are interested in hosting an upcoming event.

Rotary Book Club

The next Rotary Book Club book is "The Splendid and the Vile" by Erik Larson. The book is a saga of Churchill, Family and Defiance during the Blitz. It was a #1 New York Times Bestseller.

The next Book Club date is Tuesday, April 11, at 5:30 at Bonefish Grill in Regency. The book is 503 pages. Because of the length, we are reading half the book for April Discussion (thru Chapter 52), and the other half for May discussion (there are 101 Chapters).

All are welcome!!!
