toilet paper let Bill Koellner. Drop off location for toilet paper will be at Bill
Koellner and Tom Brooke’s office is located downtown. Marian Hart noted that the
best price and qty is to go to COSTCO and pick up a 30 pack of toilet paper
there. We are looking at needing/wanting to collect thru donations around 520
rolls of toilet paper! Currently collected is as follows per Bill Koellner: 328rolls so

Women in Rotary Series
- Without a doubt the grand finale of Infinite Possibilities: Women in Rotary was extraordinary, thanks to our featured guest speaker, Rotary International President Nominee Jennifer Jones! Jennifer was selected to lead Rotary because of her exceptional qualifications, commitment to service, enthusiasm and her ability to lead effectively! The fact that she is a woman is just an added bonus and we are so pleased that Rotary finally got it right. Sincerely, if you missed Jennifer’s presentation you’ll want to take the time to watch the recorded version. Jennifer shared her heart, passion, and vision for a better Rotary.
