NON - Meeting, Notes – December 26, 2019
 
 
This is a special edition without a meeting since December 18th. We hope everyone had a great Christmas, and wish you each a Happy New Year.
 
DINING OUT – DECEMBER:
TOMORROW evening at Louie’s Italian restaurant at 6:00 P.M.
 
LOWHILL FOOD PANTRY:
This great group still depends on cash donations from AW Rotarians. And volunteering for the produce pick-up and distribution on Saturday mornings is a very satisfying thing.
 
THURSDAY EVENING SCHEDULE:
Jan 9 and 23 will be held at the Starlite Diner starting at 5:30 P.M. in the private back room.
 
HOLIDAYS:
There is no Wednesday morning meetings on January 1, 2020  --  Happy New Year.
 
NEXT  MORNING MEETING:
January 8th   at Luther Crest with  Murtaza Jaffer as our Greeter. Our program will be a Quarterly Club Assembly + Treasurer's Report
 
There were no HAPPY DOLLARS and no drawings for prizes today at this non-meeting. And there was no program.
 
Note that the Greeter list appears on the left side in each weekly bulletin. Please look for your scheduled date. And the January birthdays, anniversaries and join dates are listed below.
 
CLOSING:
We will see you on the 8th.
