PROMOTING ROTARY
The Club Service committee is asking members to wear their Rotary lapel pin, polo, tie, mask - anything with the Rotary logo -  that will promote Rotary or maybe serve as a conversation starter to those who would like to know more about our great organization. If you wear it on Tuesdays, there may even be some type of incentive. More information to follow.
