Fun with Jess:  Each table had a alphabet letter that they were required to use in answering specific questions.  Who picked WXY and Z ?  Oh Jess!!

Rotary Update: Rich Dwyer told us an anonymous donor is giving $1000 to the Red Kettle Campaign and will match it with another $1000 if we as Rotarians put in $1000.  Our donation will support the Red Kettle and the Rotary Foundation will receive $1000 from the anonymous donor.  So put your money in the Red Kettle at the back table!!
