Greetings
Rotarians & Friends!
We finished April with a TRULY FUN AND FABULOUS FELLOWSHIP MEETING!
Not only did we celebrate our April Birthdays with our Original Birthday Fairy and mini cheesecakes,
We acknowledged two amazing Rotarians of the Month!
Please congratulate Dean and Susan Reuter for this much-earned recognition!

birthday extravaganza.
This woman knows how to celebrate surrounded by family, friends, dancing, and so much love!
Happy Birthday, Martha!!
