Dear Fellow Rotarians, The Rotary theme for August has been “membership”, and just in the nick of time in this issue of The Hub you will see the notice of a proposed new member, Michelle Meyering. You have seven days to notify our membership director, Michael Baker, if you have […]
Dear Fellow Rotarians, Last week we had a great program with Stephanie Armstrong from the Chamber of Commerce.

Connie Green got our meeting started with the flag salute, which was followed by Jennifer Lemert eloquently sharing a prayer focused on a word I had never heard before Diakonia (dee-ah-koh-nee-yah). Her invocation was moving and one of the highlights of the meeting, even though we adjourned shortly after she […]
Fellow Rotarians,This past week I veered off the Alaska Highway, drove north through the Yukon on the Klondike Highway, and eventually reached Poker Creek, Alaska, the most northerly land border in the United States. Not only did it mark my first visit to Alaska, it helped me reach my 50th […]
