Hello Rotarians!
And just like that, it’s already September! Thank you to Lynda and Jake for hosting a wonderful End of Summer Garden Party. It was a lovely afternoon spent with Rotarians in a beautiful backyard! Hopefully we can reunite in person again soon with the rest of our members!

Mentorship Program
We are in the process of seeking our mentors and mentees for this year's mentorship program between Rotarians and young adults in the community.
Last year our pilot project turned out to be a great success! We were able to match six mentees to mentors and the goal for this year is to have twelve of more! This program will be completely virtual this year. For more information on the program, check out:
