What does Rotary mean to me? It means that I am surrounded by so many wonderful people that truly exemplify what it means to live “Service Above Self!”  These aren’t just people that I get to see weekly over lunch (well I used to be able to!) or stand side by side volunteering with at local events, many of you have become some of my best friends. 

Please remember to register for the Pillars of the Community Luncheon, Tuesday, June 7 honoring Sandy Custer. Please let Shelley know if you will be attending. Information about the event can be found here: https://www.mcfgives.org/2021-potc-sandy-custer/
