He will be a wonderful member! The Addison Rotary Club Board approved his application, so we are in the 10-day waiting period. He will be at our meeting this Friday. Please make sure he feels welcome. 

 

If you haven't downloaded the Clubrunner app onto your phone, please do so. It has a lot of useful functions including our club directory. You can phone or text members directly from the app. 

 

John Johnstone, our District Assistant Governor, attended our meeting last week. He will look for some District funding for our membership video project. 

 

Reminder from last week: If you have any suggestions, questions, schedule, or information about Maguire’s and our meeting room, please work through Fritzie. She graciously agreed to be our Single Point of Contact with Maguire's. 

 

See you Friday!
