Announcements

Road Apple Roulette tickets were sold at the Firehouse Pet Store on Saturday.  Kathleen, Rebecca, and Jim & Carol were there.  Thanks to Kathleen for setting up, and being there all morning.  We'll be selling at Community Glass next Friday from 8-1, and at Henry Harrow on Saturday from 10-1.  Kathleen needs help setting up Saturday, and selling tickets on both days.

April 11, 12, and 13 is the Rotary District Spring Training from 5-6:30.  This is an online (Zoom) time with various Rotary topics (membership, fundraising, PI & marketing, leadership, The Rotary Foundation, etc.).  Great for any member.  Watch for Robin's email with the link.

We need volunteers for the Youth Parade on April 29 from 8:30-1.  Contact Alan Walker and/or show up at Triangle Park at 8:30 to get instructions, clipboard, radio, etc.

May 3 is the All-Service Club Luncheon at the Convention Center.  Call the Apple Blossom Office for tickets ($28) and join us in supporting all the service clubs in the area.

May 18 is our first Pybus Farmer's Market day, where we can help with kid's crafts, greet, and show our presence in the community.  We need a small committee to organize our volunteers and the set-up/take down at each Pybus event (maybe one a month).

May 16-19 is also the District Conference in Leavenworth.  Hit Rotaryreimangined.com to get info and to register.  Our club will subsidize all but $99 of the registration.  This is a great way to see Rotary on a larger scale, and to meet Rotarians form all over our district.  Next year's' conference will be in Canada, so this will be the closest one for a few years.

Invoices for this quarter will be coming out soon.  

We will be planning another round of picking goatheads in June with the Goathead Warriors.  More to come on this weed irradication effort.

After Notes

Queen Scarlett won the raffle draw, but didn't get the right marble.  Pot is over $400 and climbing.

Mark gave the joke of the day - He doesn't like elevator music; it's bad on every level.                         He doesn't like elevators; he take steps to avoid them.

Tuesday night about 20 Rotarians and some spouses joined at the Taproom in Pybus for some fellowship.  A fellow-Veteran (From Tour of Duty veterans group) stopped by thank Wayne M. and Bill O. for their service and bought them dinner.
