Help Is Needed We are looking for a Club member who would like to work tech support for our meetings. Responsibilities would include handling and setting up the laptop for meeting graphics and run video as needed. Please talk with Dave Walker or Lindy Beatie. Save The Date: Sunday, April 7 - 19th Annual Joanie Bumpus Daffodil Run Our Club will be supporting the Daffodil Run which in turn supports our Club plus other local service organizations and the needs of the victims of the Camp Fire. We help with the on-sight registration, handing out registration packets and giving directions. This will be our first year without Barbara Ross leading us in this activity - so let's show Barbara we can do this. Be watching for the sign up sheet. Want to take part in the walk/run?

Club Community Service Project: Little Libraries Spark Interest Lindy Beatie gave a presentation on the Little Libraries, which are small stand-alone book cupboards that are voluntarily stocked and kept. Our Club will be working to build at least six Little Libraries to be placed around the community - the Club was able to list nine local businesses where we thought a book exchange would be useful. Gordon Beatie is willing to cut the wood, and club members are needed to assemble, paint and stock the libraries as well as talk with community organizations and businesses to adopt a Little Library on their business grounds. Joanie Bumpus, Club Community Service Chair, will lead this project but your support is needed. It's time to start thinking about our Rotary Youth Leadership Awakening (RYLA) sessions for 2019! We are now recruiting counselors for this summer. There are three sessions, as follows Session A: June 16-21 (counselors arrive on the 15th) - Session B: June 23-28 (counselors arrive on the 22nd)
- Session C: July 7-12 (counselors arrive on the 6th)
The program starts on a Sunday when the campers arrive, with the counselors coming in a day earlier on Saturday. SOMETHING NEW ONLINE: TechEasy Webinars!
