Club Assembly
 
This week’s program is us!  President Jane and the other members of the new board will share their hopes and plans for the new Rotary year which started July 1st.
 
This is a chance to learn what our board has in store and also to share your own ideas about how to make this a successful year.  At-a-glance’s team of crack reporters will be covering the event live.
 
Speaking of reporters, kudos once more to Jacquelyn Blake for keeping our Facebook page up to date.  If you haven’t already done so, enjoy pictures from the Changing of the Guard here.
