Attendance Statistics

Following is a list of members who are tracking towards perfect attendance for the Rotary year ending 06/30/09. A minimum count of 50 is needed to be considered 100%. Several members are very close but still short of meeting that number.

Please turn your make-ups in to Stu Vander Hoek as quickly as possible so that we can get all of your meetings counted. Also, please contact Stu if you think the count showing is off for any reason.

Cocktail Party at the Herzberg Home
Rich Herzberg

Our Rotary Club has great fellowship options, but sometimes we just don’t get time to enjoy an evening together without speeches, an auctioneer, or a performance. So, Marilyn and I would like to invite you to a summer Rotary party where we promise no speeches, no fundraising — just a chance to enjoy a summer evening together.

Please feel free to bring your spouse or partner, or come on your own.

Valet parking has been donated. Drinks and lots of hors d’oeuvres will be served.

WHEN?
Thursday, August 6, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

WHERE?
Our home in Hunts Point

COST?
Our Fellowship Committee hasn’t set the final price, but expect it will be similar to our last Oktoberfest.

SIGN-UPS?
Please e-mail our Fellowship Chair TJ Woosley.
