Save the Date

  The Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for August 15.  Members should remember that this is our biggest event and fundraiser.  All Rotarians are expected to attend and sign up for duty.  Friends and family are also welcome to help out.  The breakfast is a great opportunity for fellowship and a great family day out.  The dress of the day is your Rotary shirt, if you do not have one see Howard Frisch to buy one.  Wearing the Rotary colors makes our group look professional to the public.  We do have an image to maintain, right Howard?
