PLEASE NOTE: Next Monday, August 30, is the Fifth Monday so we will NOT meet next week. In addition, the following Monday is September 6, Labor Day. Therefore we will not meet that day as well.

We had a great meeting this past Monday. Greg Gaffke and Steve Bruce gave us some great background on the Cole County Sheriff’s Posse. If you have interest in participating in that voluntary group, I encourage you to contact Greg.

Today, our membership includes more than 100 civic-minded professional men and women, many of whom serve or have served in the highest professional capacities of their industries. Weekly meetings provide an enjoyable way to network and collectively plan and initiate significant contributions that promote the vision of Rotary locally and to needy areas of the world. We live by the motto “Service Above Self.”
