Best wishes for the New Year
 
 
 
As we look forward to a return to the Grange and live meetings, sometime this year, we face new challenges and successes, new heartbreaks and joys.  We are stronger for it.  This remains a great time to have each other, and our shared purposes.  (But, I'm on vacation a couple of weeks. Carry on.  Next newsletter will be the week of 1-18-21.)

Facemasks
 
 
RCN has purchased Rotary-themed face masks.  If you would like a mask, please email Ron and we will mail one to you.  In return, we are asking that you make a donation to The Rotary Foundation.  This will benefit the foundation financially and will add points towards a membership in the Paul Harris Society.  If you have any questions, please reach out to Ron or Thom.
