Happy Birthday Rotary!!!!

One Hundred and Seven years ago, Rotary was born.  Last week we celebrated that milestone in thought and song.  We had visitors Jerry VanLue, Coleen Mathews and Shannon Shervin in attendance.    Shannon gave the club an update to what our donation to the Danville After Prom Committee was used for and she asked for continued support from the club for this year.


Click the Youtube video below for an update on how Rotary can keep younger members.  This video is from the Rotary Minute.  (The video is really only about a minute long.... worth your time.)

Up coming events:  Tomorrow, We will be Inducting our new members.  The Board Meeting is moved to March 8th and Farmers Day is also March 8th and will be at the Train Station at Ellis Park.  And lastly, the District Conference is March 23rd and 24th.

Stephanie gave her ten minutes of fame.  She introduced fellow Rotarian, Mark Smith.  Stephanie said that she went to school with Mark (5th Grade).  Mark filled us in on a program that is dear to him called, The Drug Court Program.  Drug Court is held in Superior 1 on Tuesdays at 4pm.  The program is designed to give people with addiction problems that option for the help that they need.  Mark takes pride in the face that the program is NOT funded with taxpayers dollars.  

Tomorrow we will have a speaker from Riley Children's Camp.  See you all tomorrow.
