ANNOUNCEMENTS
Keith Porter told us that the Muscatine members of the Kosovo Project will be leaving soon. He said there would be a fund raiser at the Pizza Ranch. It's too late to eat pizza but but not too late to send in some money. Keith has all the details.
HAPPY NEWS
Roger Lande was sure happy to talk about the Mississippi and the wonderful things we've been doing in Muscatine to celebrate the Mighty Miss as a civic asset. Ann Meeker and Kathy Bankhead may have some discordant thoughts on this idea right now.
THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM
Jessa and James Huebing Reitinger - Project InSisex This should be a fun program and worth the time it takes to get to Rotary. If you haven't been the to the Art Center to see this program or the display of extremely realistic sculptures, you need to get over there as soon as you can.
LAST PROGRAM
Mallory Smith, the Executive Director of the Tri-Rivers Conservation Foundation presented "Reflections," a collection of oral histories from resident in the conservation area centered in Louisa County.
