Your Weekly Update

Monday, April 4th, 2025
Dear Rotarians,
 
You are at the library this Friday for your club meeting where you will hear from almost new-member Augustin Baeza and Mr. David Rowe will be your President this week.
 
We have lots of club business this week so please read through.

To begin, we are meeting on Thursday 4/10 at 10 am on Zoom to assign final tasks for The Empty Saddle Club Fundraiser. If you have questions, if you have been waiting for an assignment, if you have great ideas please join us Thursday morning.

This Wednesday morning 4/9 at 10:30, Christine Chui will be hosting a group in-person at The Empty Saddle Club. This group will meet to discuss decor, volunteers needed for that day, and if anyone from the logistics team wants to go, I don't think it's too soon. I will be there with the task list taking notes.
