Membership Moment: As a fellow

Rotarian, each one of us is responsible for

our club’s growth. Each week I will post a

couple of classifications that will maybe

“jog a reminder” to you of someone you

may like to invite to visit our club – some-

one who would make a good Rotar-

ian. Highlight classifications for this week

are:

Appliance Retailer – Owner/Manager/Sales

Hardware Store – Owner/Manager/Sales

Sign Company – Owner/Manager/Sales

If you know of someone in these fields, pick up the phone or visit them and extend the hand of friendship. with an invitation to our next meeting. Terri Stokes, Mem-bership Chair
