Presidents Message: Well you have survived having me as your president for six months, only six more months to go. The goal set by our district governor is to increase our membership by one member, net. We started the year with 27 members, we are down to 24. To accomplish our district goal we need to bring 4 new members to our club. I know we can do it, please keep Rotary on your mind as you go through your day; always scanning for potential new members. Invite someone you admire to have breakfast, all we need is 4 new members!
