President's Message
 

Dear Rotarians,

This week iPast President Craig Buhrendorf will be back and graciously helping with leading our Wednesday morning meeting. The program will be getting to know your fellow Rotarians with Mike Wooton and Denny Daar and I know it will be interesting and of course both fabulous and entertaining. 
 
This week you still have the opportunity to RSVP for the PolioPlus & 30th Anniversary wine pairing dinner on October 9th and to contribute to the evening’s silent auction fundraiser for END POLIO NOW. This is a very important evening for our club as we will not only be raising much-needed funds for the end polio campaign, but also celebrating our 30th year together serving our community and Denver Lake Norman. Please come out and celebrate and be part of this very special night. The gift of your presence is valuable and will be impactful.
 
A special thank you so very much to iPast President Craig for all of his mentorship and guidance and for kindly jumping back in the saddle again to lead our club. I wish you all a wonderful week and can’t wait to see you next Wednesday.
 
Kindest Regards,
Trudie
