Message from President Sue

Greetings fellow Rotarians,
I hope you enjoyed a long, wonderful weekend and had opportunity to honor Memorial Day in your own, meaningful way.
Stay tuned for our first in-person meeting details for 2020-2021! We’re in the approval queue for the Pavilion at the end of June for our induction of officers-details to come as we receive (fingers crossed) approval! We’re working on a virtual option; likely a YouTube for those of you had aren’t able to join us, to watch at your convenience.
For those of you who would like to continue the conversation with Portland Pearl, click here for a link to their social justice committee meeting, June 7th.
Take care, see you soon!
