Foothills Rotary Weekly Bulletin

I hope you're all over at our Pickleball Classic today, and reading this when you get back home! This is a wonderful new fundraiser for our Club. Speaking of which, we had some fabulous news last Tuesday: 40 people in our Golf Group contributed $1500 towards RYLA. Thank you for your generosity! Plus, our club received $20,000 from the 2022-2023 Peach Festivals. All of this means we can do even more good in the community and our world.

I want to remind you that although our meeting begins at 12:00, our social time actually begins at 11:45 each week. So set your reminders to come a little early, sit with some people you don't know as well, and have great conversation. Lunch is regularly served before 11:45.

We had 40 players this year who participated in at least one of the outings and many of the players participated in several (if not all) of the 8 outings possible this season. That was terrific!
