We are encouraging people to submit their info and a pic to Peter so we each can take a turn and get to know each other. You can also get the 'word out' about your business! We may offer a prize at the end of the year for the Member Spotlight that gets the most 'Likes' for the year!! Can't win if you don't play!

Description: A trip to Guatemala next year to get to know our fellow Rotarians and their families, do service projects, see the sights and have some fun!
As many of you know, we are planning a trip to Guatemala next year to get to know our fellow Rotarians and their families, do service projects, see the sights and have some fun! Gary and Ana and I met with Alvaro and Patrick over zoom last week and together we planned a tentative itinerary for January 12-22 that Patrick has attached here. Patrick has included a breakdown of the cost per person for the amazing trip he has planned for us that you'll find at the end of the attached itinerary. We priced air travel costs at around $500/person, but obviously that can vary. Please look over the itinerary carefully because there are lots of options included to facilitate designing your trip for your comfort level. What we would like to know at this planning stage is how many of you feel interested in going on this trip. No commitment required just yet
At our last meeting, we heard from Dwight about the Rotary Foundation. November is Rotary Foundation month. Make plans for your yearly giving with the Foundation in mind!
