INVITE A VETERAN TO ROTARY!
Wednesday, November 9th, is a special meeting - Invite a Veteran to Rotary. If you know any veterans from the 1st or 2nd World War or any other conflict the US has been involved in, please invite them to join us for breakfast. We already have confirmation from at least 6 veterans, some of whom will also be speakers. Make sure to contact Carolina Chacon if you have guests coming so she can have a headcount for breakfast.
Thank you Dr. Lee Lau for arranging for this special meeting.

President’s Message: It is Tuesday night and perhaps you are wondering if you should attend our Rotary meeting. You are tired and unsure if your fellow Rotarians will even notice that you are not present. Guess what? We do notice, we miss you at our meetings! We want your input and participation. This is “our” Rotary club YOU are a vital part of the family. Starting this week we will have a “Missing Rotarians” section. Take a minute to call our “Missing” fellow Rotarians and let them know they are missed. All phone numbers listed on our web site http://www.wcsunrise.org. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
