President's Message
Sue Mastroianni
January 4, 2019
 
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
 
I find it hard to believe our Rotary year has reached the mid-point of the 2018-2019 year! It’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun.
 
I hope you’ve had a wonderful New Year’s holiday with family and friends. As much fun as the holidays are, I know I am looking forward to our regular meeting (and eating) schedule and getting the house put back together! I’m also re-learning that cookies are not a food group LOL sigh...... here’s to getting back on track with healthy habits in the new year!
 
In you haven't heard (which is unlikely), Jack Toner is once again looking for 100% participation in RI Foundation giving this year!  He does have long arms, so don't be surprised when he taps you for this year's generosity! 
 
This Friday’s speaker will be Kay Simpson, President of the Springfield Museums. Kay has more than thirty years of museum experience and will talk about the Dr. Seuss museum and the recent passing of Seuss’s widow, Audrey Geisel.
 
Happy New Year!
 
President Sue Mastroianni
