On this 84th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, only 12 surviving veterans of that day remain, and for the first time, none of them will be present for the remembrance ceremony. Please take a moment to wish them, and all our World War II veterans, comfort and peace.
We aren't meeting at Bethany this Thursday morning, but we will be having our Holiday Party that evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Nolo's at the Rich Valley Golf Club.
The Rule-of-85 Lunch will be this Monday at Noon at Snappers.
We will also be holding our Board Meeting this Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. via Teams. (meeting link)
Club Notes:
We are still collecting donations for our Adopt-A-Family program. An envelope will be passed around at the party this Thursday, or you could send donations directly to Glen Osborn via mail or via Venmo. See Glen's email for details.
Our Philanthropy Committee is sending out announcements to potential grantees. If you know of a nonprofit organization advancing any of Rotary's areas of service, contact Brian Fields to ensure they receive the application materials.
Invoices for the 3rd Quarter will be sent out on January 1, 2026. Regular members will see dues of $160, including base dues of $85, $50 for meals (a $30/quarter reduction), and a $25 voluntary donation to the Rotary Foundation. The rule of 85 dues will stay the same, but breakfast at the door has been reduced to $5.00.
Please save the date for our club's 2026 Purse Bingo Fundraiser on April 19th, 2026, at the Enola Fire Hall. We will be asking the club for help identifying potential sponsors and with a variety of other tasks required to make this event a success. More information to follow.
If you want your pet to be featured as “pet of the week” on our slide during Announcements and Brag Time, please send me a picture. (Other brag pictures accepted as well.)
