FROM THE PREZZZ...

We had a busy meeting last week with a lot of interesting information presented by the River City Food Bank, Dorthe Wright and our speaker Rob Lapsley. I always enjoy 2x2's because we get to learn more about our fellow Rotarians. In this case it was new member Lyndsay Burch and our well-seasoned member Paul Friedrich.

I can't believe no one has drawn the Joker in Gino's opportunity. We will be down to 4 cards this week. It could be you! Remember that on October 5th we will not be meeting at Del Paso Country Club because they have a previous engagement set up for that day. But we will have an informal breakfast at the new Cracker Barrel at 1000 Howe Ave. There are only 35 spots available so be sure to let Rob Sowell know if you are planning on going. steeltoerob@aol.com.

See you this Friday, Sept. 28th at Del Paso CC.

Your President,

Carl
