Candace provided flyers and information on the upcoming Out of Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk coming up on Sept. 14. Our club is a sponsor of this event. They are looking for volunteers still and walkers if you want to walk with Candace’s group.
Jud asked the club if we have a coffee maker that we could provide to Brian at the winery as the current one is not working well. Will has a commercial one that he would donate, he will talk to Brian.
Ric shared our Rotary Minute - Our club was chartered in January 1986. We were a spinoff of the Dover club as several members felt a morning meeting would be more convenient with their work schedules. The celebration of our charter was held at the officers club at Pease and half the district was there to celebrate. They brought gifts of donations to help us get started. The Dover club donated the bell and gavel.
