  • Club Social and Scrap Drive Wrapup (Oct. 12) - Come to the brewery October 12 at 6pm for a social and wrapup of the scrap drive. All are welcome!

     
  • Tree Watering - As part of our commitment with the trees, Rotary will be responsible for watering shared with Lion’s Club and the City.  There are about 39 in our area and they are asking for watering twice a week, probably Monday and Thursday. We need a pickup that can pull about 2000 pounds and it needs a 2 and 5/16 inch ball. Alan Powell will be around to start the process on Thurs around 11 AM and Mon, Oct 2  after Rotary, as well.  He is looking for help in general but specifically Oct. 5, 9, 12, 16, and 19. Contact Bill Feller or John Ebert if you can help in the coming weeks.

     
  • Santa's Shining Lights Display Committee Next Meeting Oct. 3 at 6:30pm- If you are interested in helping with this year's holiday lights display and events, join the Satellite Club for their upcoming meetings on the first and third Tuesdays at 6:30pm at Dennis Donovan's office.  More volunteer opportunities will be coming soon with this project. Dates for the show are Nov. 25 - Dec. 31.
