Grover's Gazette (Feb 18, 2022)

It was wonderful to have a hybrid meeting on this past warm Thursday. Donalee brought her husband Jim who is the New City Rotary President. We are looking forward to resuming in person gatherings from this point on.

No lunch meeting will be held on Thursday February 24th because the Auction will be held that night. Expect to have a fun time as well as find a treasure!

News and Updates

Annual Valentine Regifting Auction

The event will be held virtually at 6 pm on Thursday February 24th. A Zoom link will be sent this week. Please upload photos of your donation items to the file on the link Amany sent last week. Get yourself a comfortable seat and be ready to bid on your favorite items!

Committees to Join:

-A new Meals on Wheels Coordinator is needed. Melissa is stepping down. We thank her for her service in this role.

-The Jamfest Committee will soon be underway. Contact John Shepitka or Jim Osborne about your interest in what area you would like to help.

-To Gala or Not to Gala the 95th Suffern Rotary Anniversary.

If we decide to have a Gala, a Gala Committee will need to be formed. Contact Angus if you are interested.

Volunteers Needed!

There are still some slots open for packaging the Week End Snack Attack in May and June. It helps to have a buddy to helpout and they do not have to be a Rotarian.
