He has made friends through the program from around the world. Andrew will depart for colleges this weekend – good luck Andrew, come visit us during your holiday brakes.
Our members’ responsibilities are now linked on our website. This means you are able to look up the next three months to see if you have the responsibility to be the greeter, lead the pledge, give the invocation or lead us in the Four Way Test. Please remember if you have a meeting responsibility and are unable to make the meeting you need to get someone to cover for you and let the president know by email. Thanks for your involvement!
