Linda Delehunt, congratulations on completing your first year with Rotary! You've been busy, too -- with Career Night, Camps Royal and Venture and the Reno trip. Thanks for all your participation!
Dan Gannett has been with us for 6 years and he, too, jumped in with both feet! Thanks for your help with Tom Fitch Day, Miramonte Scholarships, Career Night -- and most of all, managing our Endowment Fund!
