GET READY FOR A ROAD TRIP!
We're going to Stanley Consultants on May 5. We'll meet at the regular time- just at a different place.
ROTARY GUEST NIGHT LOOMS EVER CLOSER!
Get ready for our special "Guest Night." It's going to be a reprise of last year's venture to New Era Church. The show is "Hot Mikado" on Thursday, May 22. Dinner is chicken breast, parsley potatoes, a green vegetable, salad, rolls, dessert and a beverage. Pricing is on the brochures on each table. This is a FAMILY APPROPRIATE show so you can bring your children and grandchildren. The Trolley can take you from the Holiday Inn to the church if you like at no extra charge. ---- By the way, "The Mikado " by Gilbert and Sullivan (this is the same show with some more modern music) is one of the funniest shows Gilbert and Sullivan wrote.

HAPPY NEWS
Scotched for a special presentation by Gary Carlson and the Leadership Muscatine class of 2006. Rotary has contributed a lot of money to launch a bridge commemoration plaza at the Riverfront. This project is intended to instill civic pride, bring people to the riverfront and commemorate the construction of our bridges.
Today's Rotary Moment -Today's Rotary Moment - is a quote from James Bomar, the Rotary International President in 1979 and 80. "For 75 years, Rotarians have been the torchbearers, lighting the way to a better life for many people in many countries. Like Olympic runners, we received a torch from those before us - a torch of service that brings light to the shadow areas of mankind: intolerance, ignorance, disease, and hunger.Let people know that Rotary cares.and acts"
