Happy News: Keith Porter was pleased with the great community response to "Follow the Music in honor of Dick and Mary Jo Stanley" He thanked all Rotarians who had helped and Melanie Alexander for her great idea. Bobbie Holliday planted 4 trees this weekend and reminded Rotarians to plant theirs before July 1, 2018. Melanie Alexander was grateful for the great support for "Follow the Music" and reminded us of the 2 new shows at the Art Center. She asked members to complete the live 1 hour for Dick and Mary Jo Stanley for the next year campaign. Megan Francis reminded us to sign up for "Over the Edge". Naomi De Winter was pleased with "Follow the Music " and played a bit from the afternoon performance. Kim Warren is proud to live in Muscatine and have such access to so much.
