Reminder that the board is meeting tomorrow, Thursday 8/15 @ 7am, at Noyes Insurance. Thank you, Bill, for letting us use your conference room. Next Wednesday 8/21 is the annual summer BBQ at Ken’s lake house @ 6pm. If you would like to help cook, plan to arrive at 5:30pm. Bring your spouse, friends or potential Rotarians along with a dessert or salad and your beverage of choice. Hamburgers, hot dogs and corn will be provided. Omer introduced the guest speakers for the morning; Dr. Arnie Scheller and his wife Sonia. They spoke about the Wentworth Veteran’s Memorial project that is currently underway to honor our veterans. The 32,000 pound head stone has been set. Plans for the conflict stones and brass plaques, seating area, flag pole with solar lighting and walkway are soon to follow.
