The Club voted to award an Honorary Paul Harris Fellow to Jonathan Ayers, President & CEO of Idexx.  He will be contacted to identify a time to award him this prestigious honor.  Idexx has been a generous supporter of Gift of Life. To date, our club has helped support life-saving surgery for 7 children from El Salvador and Dominican Republic.

Road Race planning is underway.  Our annual race will be held this year on Monday April 18. All hands are needed to help out.  Please arrive by 9AM.  There is no meeting during that week, so this is a great make up opportunity as well.

A mold problem has a been identified in the basement at the new house on Dale Ave.  Steve Rand has secured 3 quotes to mitigate the problem. Owens McCullough will visit the sites and review the quotes. Jason Beever is pursuing possible insurance coverage both from the club and from the school.

Use the primary email address you use on our club website to login or set up your account.

Rotary Leadership Institute – We have room for one more on Saturday March 19 at York County Community College, 8AM-3PM.  The club will cover the $75 of training.
