Thanks for the effort!   Opportunities to Serve   Already getting some responses to serve. It is o.k. to serve on more than two committees!!   Senior Scholarship(s) The club voted to change our scholarship program to offer one $1,000.00 renewal scholarship to a deserving applicant for a total value of $4,000.00. Only Senior Rotarians can apply for this scholarship. This year we are also be offering one $500.00 non-renewable scholarship due to a very successful Rotary Radio Night.

Today’s Program

 

This will be a little bit of a surprise but will be about a 20 minute presentation on Rotary’s humorous side. We will start a few minutes early so there will be time to discuss the scholarship winners.

 

New Member

The Mayor, Bob Hart, will officially be inducted into Vinita Rotary at this week’s meeting. Welcome Bob!

Remember, we all have a responsibility to bring in new, qualified members. The more members we have the more we can do locally and around the world.
