Welcome to another issue of our weekly bulletin! Find out who our upcoming speakers are, what we covered in the last meeting and any other scheduled events.
Be sure to come to the next meeting, Tuesday, August 15th, for a presentation by Ross Schaefer from Flagstaff Shelter Services, along with an opportunity for fellowship with other Rotarians! Don't forget we have moved our meeting location to The Bluffs. It's a great new space which is centrally located and much less expensive for the club and the members.
Club Activity
President Laura called the August 1st meeting to order just after noon. Mary Ann led us in the pledge. We met in our new location in the activity room of The Bluffs. The buffet lunch will be presented on a table when you arrive. Please get your lunch and find a seat. We hope this new lunch arrangement will eliminate noisy interruptions during the meeting.
We welcomed a visitor of Mike Casey's - Victor Yunoshev, a new CPA in Flagstaff who is originally from Ukraine.

Thank you, Kamil!!!
