Many thanks to the Rotarians and host families that made it possible for Angela and Line to be with is this year.  Hearing the impact that this year has had on them reminds us how important it is to support this program.  Our local mission to support youth is a worthy one. 

Barbara Caldwell will be our speaker this week.  River Bend Nature Center is one of our communities jewels; Barbara will provide us an update from the unique perspective as a director about to leave her position.  Barbara and Jack are moving to Deforest WI, near Madison.

The committee and project sign up sheets will be out again this week.  Save our incoming President a phone call by signing up for some aspect of service within the club.
