** IN PERSON - SYMPOSIUM RESTAURANT + ZOOM ** President Elect Lise will discuss planning for her upcoming year (2025-2026) as club President.

**ZOOM only**  We look forward to newest member Stefanie Bradley's Classification Talk.  Rotary has always had a long-standing tradition of asking new members to give a “classification talk” – to tell a story to introduce themselves. Every Rotarian has a story. Why you joined, why you stay, how your involvement, your service, or your friends add to your life – it’s all there. Why tell it? Because it gives the members a chance to learn about what Rotary means to you, strengthen your bonds with other Rotarians and deepen your club’s sense of community.
