APRIL 29

By Mike Oldham

It is hoped that as many of our members as

possible will attend this event which is being

held to inform youth in our community, that

over the past year have been associated with

our Rotary Club, and their parents and

siblings, about the benefits that Rotary has to

offer to them in their futures. The second goal

of this event is to determine if the parents of

any of these youth would like to consider

becoming a member in our club. Along toward

the end of this month emails will go out to the

parents and students asking for RSVPs for this

event.

I will circulate a clip board asking club

members to sign up to attend and bring a

guest if they like. My plan is to prepare an

agenda well in advance and ask our president

and president elect, and Youth Service

Chair, to speak to this group. Refreshments

will be served.

If you have questions please let me know. This

function is an activity of your club's

Membership and Youth Services committees.

Thanks, Mike Oldham
