Quarterly Salad Option - In an effort to address member requests for salads, the Club is going to offer a salad option next quarter. Members can choose to have a salad instead of the main entree for the quarter. Those taking the salad meal can still take the other parts of the regular meal (bread, dessert, drinks, etc.). The cost will remain the same. See Marcie to try this option for a quarter.
Lion's Field Park Mulch & Clean-Up - Stay tuned for upcoming workdays to spread mulch and provide some cleanup at Lion's Filed Park.
Pass the Buck Programs - See Linda if you would like a copy of the program from Pass the Buck Night. She has extras.

The Open World Program is available only to Rotary clubs in the United States, and provides an opportunity to build fellowship and friendship to strengthen international understanding by hosting emerging Eurasian leaders from the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. These objectives fit very well within Rotary’s theme for this Rotary year: Rotary Connects the World!
The program focuses primarily on developing a network of leaders who have an understanding of how American communities deal with contemporary issues and want to maintain contact with their new American contacts and other counterparts. Often, these collaborations lead to service projects between Rotary clubs in the two countries.
Rotary clubs are needed to host six-participant delegations for eight days and nights and prepare a professional program related to business, community, and civic life in the United States during the hosting/calendar year of 2020.
