Cole Watkins: graduate of Kingman High School, plans to attend Dodge City Community College to pursue a degree in HVAC and Ag.
Silja Fahnestock: graduate of Goddard High School, plans to attend WSU Tech to pursue a degree in Aviation Maintenance.
These students will attend a club meeting in July

The 4-Way Test of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
2022-23 COMMITEES
We are gearing up for our new Rotary year which begins July 1!
If you would like to serve on a different committee than what
you are currently on,
please let Diane know by June 21
via e-mail or at our meeting.
We are especially in need of additional members on our
Club Service Committee since they have MANY ongoing opportunities for service on a weekly basis throughout the year!

We would like to have a list of members who are willing to be called upon periodically to lead the
Pledge, 4-way Test & Invocation
