Tim Hollander is celebrating a wedding anniversary.  Juddy took the opportunity to thank Tim for serving many years on the board of directors.  He also thanked Scott Needham for organizing the membership breakfast.

 

 

Auction--We had 250 items last year.  About 100 still need members to solicit.  Please start contacting individuals and businesses who might contribute items for our online auction, set to run in May.  Items may be brought to a meeting or dropped off on the porch of 5 Stonegate Drive in Middlebury.  Auction begins May 3.

 

Flags--We are gearing up for the flag season.  A session to construct/repair flags will be held at Kevin Newton's house on April 13.  Juddy needs about six volunteers to help.

 

Public Service Awards--Liz will shortly circulate nomination forms for our two public service awards, named in honor of former Rotarians Stephen Freeman and Buster Brush.  Be thinking of worthy recipients.

 

Blood Drive--Maureen Conrad would like members to sign up for the blood drive which will be held at Home Health on Friday, 9 am to 2 pm.

 

Polio Plus--David Clark explained that the "polio jar" which gets circulated each week is part of the club's commitment to raise $2,000 annually in the fight to end polio internationally.

 

District Conference--Ben encouraged members to attend the District Conference in Sherbrooke from May 3-5.  He is particularly excited about the planned Interact Symposium.
