I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family, friends, food (and football).
As we head into December and the holiday season, we are looking forward to 2016, and the 100th anniversary of our club. We will also be electing a new slate of Directors and officers for the 2016-2017 Rotary year.
Our speaker for the December 2nd meeting will be Gary Ward, co-owner of Ward's Oriental Rug Sales Gallery in Allentown. In addition to sales, Gary and his brother Kevin are certified appraisers of oriental carpets.
Given the recent holiday weekend, it might be a good time for a Happy Bucks session to share some good news about family, business or other good stuff.
Until we meet again, continue to be a gift to the community.
Rotary General Secretary John Hewko and eight RI staff members bicycled in El Tour de Tucson on 21 November. Together, they raised more than $2.9 million for Rotary’s fight to eradicate polio. When matched 2-to-1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the funds the team raised will total nearly $9 million. It’s not too late to contribute District Designated Funds to the team. Read more about the ride.
