Rotary Meetings in January and February; 

 

This being the first meeting of 2016; President Rich shared photos that celebrated some of the club events around the Christmas Holiday; including:

 

Target Shopping; Led by Mike Muehl, our club hosted 10 children from the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA. As in the past, the greatest joy in helping these youngsters prepare for Christmas was to help them purchase gifts for their family members.
