Along with a deep dive into what it means to be a Rotarian, key learnings will include: Teambuilding and volunteer leadership skills; Professional communication and brand storytelling; Creating, supporting, and sustaining positive change using your unique skills; Strategic visioning, goal-setting, and implementation. If you have the tenacity to be an active, engaged participant and dynamic future Rotary leader, consider applying for a nomination. Applications are due July 30. Apply for a nomination today.

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.
