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.

District 5970 News
District 5970 was recognized at this year’s Zone Institute in Kansas City last week. Our District finished second in our Zone (which includes 23 districts) in total giving ($207,549) to polio eradication in 2018-19. Thank you for your continued giving to the PolioPlus fund. Even though a few new cases are still being reported, we’re almost across the finish line, so now is the time to keep the energy going!
