The County Health Department is strongly recommending that anyone over the age of two (2) wear a mask in public indoor spaces AND at indoor private gatherings. This guidance also applies to those who have been vaccinated. Hand sanitizer will be at each table for your convenience. Meals will be plated and served to you.

Last Week at Rotary: Paul Harris Celebration and Presentation
Paul Harris presentation awards led by Dean Dickenson, Patt Boge, and Catherine Kolkmeier....and special guest, Paul Harris himself!
Paul Harris awards celebrate the generous giving of our members and reflect the impact that the people in our club are giving to our community, country, and the world.
Congratulations to all of our award winners. We wish you all could have been with us in person.
The meal will be TWF Signature Mac & Cheese with Grilled Chicken.
Announcement: Milk and iced tea will be available for you to pick up at the north bar as you find your seat. Cargill Room staff will also be happy to deliver a glass of milk or iced tea to you while they're serving the meal.
Note: If you prefer to keep your mask on during the entire meeting, the Cargill Room can provide you with a boxed lunch to take home with you - but we need to know in advance. Please email rotary@rotarycluboflacrosse.org.
