Soup Supper Survey -The Fundraising Committee has been working hard to come up with ways to revive our annual soup supper (formerly known as SoupFest). The Board is asking for Club feedback as they look at the options for going forward with this event for Jan. 26, 2019, at the Elks Lodge. We need club support in order for the event to be successful. This is a general ask for information and your responses are anonymous. A formal signup would be forthcoming if club members are committed to this event. Please respond to the survey at your first available. The Board will hold a special meeting after the weekly Club meeting on Monday, November 26 to decide if the event will go forward.

Our club has a Facebook Group! If you are on Facebook, look for Charles City Rotary Club and ask to join the group. We stream the announcements from the weekly meetings and post current announcements in the group. It's another way for our Club to interact outside of the meetings and stay in the loop when life is busy.
