We had a full house on this gorgeous summer day. John started us off with the pledge of allegiance, the 4-way test, and a quote from a 1992 Olympian.
Eagle Scout, Sapphire Maher was our guest speaker today. She shared her idea to replace the Little Free Library we installed 8 years ago. The approximate cost of the project is $900, which includes a composite reading bench (see drawing). The Current location is 51 High Street. Our club will get together to decide how to help with this project, which fits perfectly with the Rotary International Literacy area of focus.
Planning is well underway for the 2024 Mum a Thon road race. We have an important meeting tonight, contact John for the meeting link. Thank you to Andrea who worked hard on the mum a thon brochure. Check out the excitement at the finish line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Vg7ksc83fGo
