In lieu of a 4th Wednesday of the month happy hour this week, we have a special Saturday celebration. I couldn't be more excited to celebrate the 90th anniversary of our club! You have to believe that it must be a special organization to have survived for so long, and when you get to know Rotary and our club, you understand why it is still alive and kicking! As a matter of fact, we are growing and evolving and serving more causes than ever. I can't think of a better way to spend time than to continue (to paraphrase fellow Rotarian Rob Barnes...) "doing good and having fun"!
