If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, June 15, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Tricia Allen about the work the Adams County Economic Development department is doing.

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:11 a.m. Brad Johnson, our Family of Rotary Rotarian was absent today but was ably substituted by President Mark who lead us in the Pledge. Barbara presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Mark, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient assistant Secretary, Blaine, who introduced guest speaker, Trisha Allen. and other guests: Madison Nelson (Young RYLA), Tanner Nelson (parent), Bridget Archuleta (RYLA), and Terra Archuleta (parent).
