THANKS to all the club members who flocked to the roster and updated their personal information. Please KEEP IT UP, the list needed the refresher.

The winners of two tickets each for the following event are: Jim Hix, Donna Lauffer, Tracey Osborne, Trish Reedy, Bruce Robb, Melynn Sight, Lynn Smith, Dave Stallings, Dave Lindstrom, Cory Barash, and Larry Bigus. RUNNERS UP in case any of these members cannot attend are, in order: Chad King, Darren Chadwick, and Steve Wilkerson. Carol Watts will distribute information about ticketing in advance of the event -- and will serve as "chaperone" for this unreliable group.

Winners were chosen in the exact order of when, starting Monday Feb. 6, they logged on and edited their information.

Host some Rotary visitors this summer

International Camaraderie -- here's your chance!

District 5710 is joining our fellow Rotarians in Missouri for a special event called "Out of Africa - Into Kansas City," which will immediately follow the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta. On June 16 & 17, 2017, more than a hundred Rotarians from Africa will convene in Kansas City, for a time of fellowship and to celebrate the Centennial of our Rotary Foundation, which started in Kansas City!

Rotarian "hosts" are needed to help welcome these visitors to our area! Please see the attached flyer for ways that you can get involved, and visit the website www.outofafrica.rotary13.org for more details.
