Letter from the
President
2010 is fast disappearing,
with November already upon
us!
November is Foundation
Month in the Rotary calendar,
and this week we will be
hearing from a young man
who will soon be benefitting
from one of the many
wonderful programs of the
Rotary Foundation.
November and December are
extremely busy times for
everyone in the lead up to
Christmas. If you can't make
it to our weekly meeting,
please do let us know in
advance so we can adjust
catering if need be.
Yours in Rotary service,
Simone
