Announcements

Here is the link for last week's program on environmental sustainability presented by Rotarian Kris Cameron, and the sign up link to work a recycle station in the food/craft park during Apple Blossom.

Program - Presentation PowerPoint:


Wayne announced that we have sold over 2000 tickets so far.  Keep selling.

Our new communications and database software (DACdb) training coming up - Thursday at 7:00 for the Board (anyone can join however), and Tuesday, April 2 at our club meeting for everyone to see how to use DACdb and the Ignite app.  Instructions on how to log in below.  Try to do this before the training.



Kathleen has purchased tickets to the All Service Club Luncheon on May 1.  We can get a second table if needed.  Contact Kathleen and give her a 26 check (or cash).  The featured speaker is Jen Meuller, an Emmy award winning producer and sports broadcaster based in Seattle.  She currently serves as the Seattle Seahawks radio sideline reporter and is a member of the Mariners television broadcast team.  She is a business communications expert and has published three books.

Rebecca asked everyone to complete the online survey she sent out last week.  Contact her if you didn't get one.  This information will help plan our next couple years.  Rebecca also sent around a list of next year's committees so you can think about which you would like to sign up for.

Our strategic planning event was cancelled due to lack of participation.  We can try again for a weeknight in April. More info to come.
