News from PP Jim Russell
Our seasoned members will remember beloved Past President Jim Russell (2016-17), who left the club with wonderful wife Karen to be near their precious daughter in Seattle (suffering from Alzheimer's), and then shortly losing Karen to illness. Jim is an honorary member.
Volunteers are needed for December 31, January 20, 24, and 26.
Members who have not yet volunteered are in high demand! This is a fun way to meet other Rotarians, share the love of Rotary with the community, and raise funds for our club and its impact on the community. So far this Rotary year, we have earned $1,100+ volunteering with concessions. This helps keep our dues stable.
