Friendship Exchange--Nancy thanked all the families who had hosted visitors from England during our recent Friendship Exchange, as well as Rotarians who had helped with driving.  She gave special thanks to Scott for the meal he put on for hosts, guests, and drivers, and to Lyn for helping with the planning and coordination.  She forgot to thank herself.  For anyone interested, there will be a Rotary Friendship Exchange this fall  to Calgary for the Stampede.

 

Gift Baskets--Geoff announced that today was the day to assemble gift baskets for the volunteers and staff of the Fire, Police, and Sheriff's Departments, Porter Hospital, the State Police, and MREMS.  The generosity of members means the gift baskets will be very full.
