A big Thank you to Nancy Foster, our Program Chairman, and all our Monthly Program chairs for always providing us with such interesting programs.
I hope you will make a resolution to come not only to the next meeting but also have perfect attendance at Rotary in 2014.With online virtual meetings (http://rotaryeclubone.org/makeups/howtodoamakeup/), this goal is now at everyone's reach.
Also, remember to show your Rotary pride every day, and share the power of fellowship through service! During our meetings, once in a while, as a thank you and acknowlegement, we are now giving a Raffle ticket to each member and guest who wears a Rotary Pin or a clothing item with a Rotary logo.
