Announcements from today's meeting
On August 17th, plan to attend the club meeting as our District Governor, Dave Underhill, will be making his annual club visit.
The Rotary and Boston Red Sox will have a game honoring our organization on September 13th at Fenway Park. If you are interested in attending, check out the district website for further details.
We have tentatively set August 16th at Warren Spencer's house for a fireside chat for new-ish members and those who want a refresher course on what we are all doing in Rotary and why.
This year our district's goal is to increase membership by around 150 members. We encourage each member to invite one guest to a club meeting this coming year and see what develops. We are so lovable that this is bound to increase membership!
It was a very subdued meeting today as we dealt with the passing of Richard Currier. Next week we will definitely have a real speaker for the morning program.
If you can, please plan to attend the memorial service tomorrow, Friday, at 6 p.m. at the First Federated Church in South Berwick.
