President’s Message

Happy Tuesday Rotarians!

Who is joining me for a movie?

Friday evening you will find me sipping an Italian soda and munching on popcorn atop the YMCA building, watching The Greatest Showman. I’d love to have YOU join me! I mean, how often do you get the opportunity to watch a movie outside on a beautiful evening with friends, family, and Rotarians? Learn more about this in the announcement section below.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow,

President Elise Bauman
Rotary Club of Salem
