RECAP: 2/12/20 Meeting
Our very own Rotarian, Mike Raymond, in his capacity as board member for the Bluffton Township Fire District, spoke to the club last week about our top tier (ISO Rating: 2) local fire district, comprising of 60,000 homes and 8 fire stations with one on the way. Thank you, Mike!!! To learn more about the fire district as well as their goals and strategic future plans, click here: https://www.blufftonfd.com

A big thank you also to those who participated in the Rum Cake Cupcake Auction last week, which raised funds for Rise Against Hunger and feed the hungry! We raised $2,080 from the auction, including matching funds! And a special thanks to our auctioneer, Steve Miller, who did a stupendous job with the bidding! Please don't forget that Dot Jeger (pictured below) will be available tomorrow to collect any IOU funds.
