Join us the first Monday of every month at 6:30pm at Hermann's for our round table meetings.  They are always a great time.  In July we are moving our Monday meeting to July 9 and going to The Rotary Pavilion to watch the Clam Lake Band play.  It is their box lunch fundraiser, so find a band member and buy a ticket, bring a chair and sit with us!

Our next formal meeting is October 1 at Janine Repka's home.
