We welcomed two new members, enjoyed an LCSO K-9 demonstration, and then surrounded Sherry with love as she shared difficult news.
It was one of those mornings that reminded us why being together matters — so make plans to be part of it each Wednesday.
Until next Wednesday, may something good happen because you were there.

Panico gave for parking cars at Music in the Park but he didn’t know it was such a dangerous job so a young lady with a hat on drove up and he was explaining until he realized it was a fellow Rotarian. Overall, the club collected approximately 1200 bucks for parking.
Joanie gave for successful Music in the Park, and for Trudie who out did herself at Changing of the Guard.
Missy gave for 27 years of wedded bliss!
Trudie gave happy bucks for everyone that helped with Changing of the Guard - Mike, Barb, Andie, Ross, and all the Music in the Park crew as well thanks!
