Senior Luncheon
I am going to start off by saying that I do not take it personally that I am not Santa Claus this year.  It's fine... I'm fine (1 single tear falling)  The reigns on the sleigh must be passed on :) 
 
It is one of the most wonderful times of the year where we as Rotarians are fortunate enough to be able to serve a warm meal to those of our wonderful senior community.  To some it may seem as though it is only 1 meal in many.  However, to those seniors (and last count we were at 132) this has become a tradition shared with family and friends. 
 
Here are some specifics for Thursday 12/13: 
- Where: St. Michaels Church in Farmington
- When: 10am to 2 pm is the time frame that we are working with - some seniors may show up at around 9:30.  If you can get there by 9am to help set up the kitchen and get some hot coffee going, it will be greatly appreciated
- Serving of the meal will begin at 11am
- Dress code:  Your best holiday attire (I have an awesome sweater with a pug covered in Christmas Lights - Awesome right?!?!)
- Make sure to make this the best Senior Luncheon we have done to date
 
See you all there!

Meeting hosts
A reminder to check the meeting host schedule in the sidebar of The Source to learn when you are scheduled to serve. Each Rotarian serves as a meeting host one month of the year and is responsible for working with your co-host(s) to do the following:
  • Schedule speakers for your month
  • Arrive early to set up
  • Give the meal count to the kitchen
  • Stay late to take down
Please review the meeting host responsibilities for complete details. Contact Janie if you have questions or a conflict with the month you are assigned.
 
Thank you Sara, TJ and Lori for being great meeting hosts for December.  Leshia, Ann and Krysia ... you are starting off the 2019 calendar year and the half way point of the Rotary year with hosting duties.
