Please help make your Bulletin Editor's job a little easier

I will email the biography we have on file for you a few weeks before you are scheduled as Rotarian of the Day. Please review the biography immediately upon receipt of my email and let me know if corrections are needed.

I need to have your biography information and program information at LEAST one week before you are scheduled as Rotarian of the Day.

Our esteemed President Bob Green is requesting that each week our scheduled Rotarian of the Day give a brief (2-3 minute) classification talk. This brief talk should just expand on your biography information.

Very important!! Please make sure your email account isn't sending my AOL email messages to your spam box. My email address will appear as DeVoreAJ@aol.com
