Today’s guest was Maryann Barnsley of exploreplymouthnh.com . She reviewed a new section of their website for non-profits. Part of their site is free, and you can purchase additional services to unlock other areas for the website. The site has a community calendar, as well as links to local businesses. They will be expanding the site to include news articles and content submitted by members.
Denise raised a question for members to consider an after hours meeting in the future. Last year we had a few dinner meetings at the Sunset Grill in Campton.
Paul Brochu sent an email out about an upcoming Rotary trip to India from 9/9/22 to 9/20/22 to help with Polio vaccinations. India is very close to eradicating polio from their country. The cost is $2,500 plus airfare. You will be housed by local Rotarians. A trip like this can be a life changing event. Consider how you might help?
Next week will be a Club Forum and we will hold our Club elections for officers and board members. We do not have anyone in line for President Elect or Vice President, but elections will be held anyway.
Saturday, May 21s was Circle Camp Cleanup and thanks to Mike, Ken E, Lora, Ken W, Sharon, Denise, and Renee for helping Beth Devers and her crew at Circle Camp. The morning was cloudy and it was a blessing. It did not heat up until the afternoon. It was a great time. Sharon was honored to work with Karen and Eric Werner a the Alison Werner Barton Activity Area and rope course made in memory of their daughter. Volunteers were served lunch and it was a wonderful time.
