Thanks to everyone who joined our meeting on Tuesday! We had 51 people total, 45 Steamboat Rotarians and 6 guests!
Happy birthday to Carol Johnson (June 3), Lisa Schlichtman (June 4), and PJ Wharton (June 8).
Kathy Elliott provided Memorial Day Thoughts for the Day:
"It's better to fight for something in life than to die for nothing"
"As we set today aside to honor and thank our veterans, let us be mindful that we should do this every day of the year and not just one"
"We take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude"
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them" - John F. Kennedy
"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices" Harry S. Truman
Joanna Allison led Good News today. The club's generosity brought in a bunch of money, I just don't know exactly how much! :-)
