Good morning, Rotarians! I hope you are sleeping as well as I am these days. The delightfully cool evenings and comfortable days of August are quite welcome in my book! But if you have not sent your letter to friends and family inviting them to purchase Duck Race tickets, I suggest you get on it! 🙂 No better time than the present as we are slowly closing in on the BIG event to be held on September 4 at 3 p.m. Kim Olds, Karl Klein, Rob Perry and a few others are managing this important fund raiser and they would be quite grateful! (please thank them when you see them) Find out more below.
Have you stopped by the von Trapp display gardens for a tour? With the generosity of Sally and Tobie von Trapp, Jane Macan has organized what has turned out to be a wonderful series of weekend fund raising events for Rotary. A great big thank you to all of the volunteers including Sally Dwyer and Karen Winchell and everyone else who has taken a shift at the entry table or helped in other ways. You can read more below.
Rosemarie White received a lovely letter of thanks from the Harwood student we sent to Rotary Youth Leadership conference. If it does not make you proud, I would be very surprised. Read it below and thank Rosemarie for her work when you see her.
But wait! There's more good work that fellow Rotarians are involved in!
This past beautiful weekend Al Barillaro managed what I hear was a very successful and fun 75th Anniversary celebration of the Warren Volunteer Fire Department. You can see a few photos below of the fun event! Thank you all who gave of their time to make it a success!

And speaking of meetings, being a Greeter at a meeting is a great way to chat it up with potential new members or those you have not seen in a while. You can sign up to be a Greeter on the Members page of our web site. Go on. You know you want to!
Ducks are waiting for sponsors to send them racing down the Mad River to win prized for their sponsors! Rotary members are selling ducks at the Waitsfield Farmers Market and Mehuron's every weekend and of course you can buy
