Weekly Meeting Good News
We are heading back to pre-pandemic times! With the guidance of the Rotary Board, President Christina Usher announced last week that we are no longer asking Rotarians to pre-register. All you have to do is check your calendar and make sure that you have Rotary every Tuesday from 12 noon to 1:00 PM. Bring your awesome self, and let's enjoy the great company of fellow Rotarians while having lunch. President Christina, in concert with the Program Committee, is working hard to deliver excellent weekly programming. Nothing will replace in-person interaction. President Christina and the Board are hoping to see you every Tuesday at noon at Embassy Suites.
 
For lunch payments, credit card and check payments are accepted at the door starting October 5, 2021. If you have prepaid your lunches, let the Cashier know, or if you want to be billed later.
