If You Missed The Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, September 9, 2015, you missed a very informative presentation by Leigh Flanagan who talked about the Rotary Community Corps. This is for non-Rotarian people who don’t belong to a club and want to support a local Rotary club with their local public service.

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Blaine Swanson, our Family of Rotary Rotarian this week and promptly led us in the Pledge. Chris presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Mark, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher,Click here to enter text. who introduced our guest speaker, Leigh Flanagan from the Boulder Rotary Club.
