Rotary Friendship Exchange - Sri Lanka Style
Compliments of our Madame Governor: I want to give a huge shout out to the entire club for all the help I received with the visitors from Sri Lanka this past week. Scott Brix and Jackie Speciale were gracious enough to house some of the guests. Tom Nierman, Scott, Jackie, Roscoe, Laura Cullotta, and Elizabeth Olson helped with driving. Melissa Adamson gets a special mention because she drove from Woodstock to Evanston to the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago to Schaumburg and back to Woodstock. Yep, that was a looong day and she was a trooper! And so many of you welcomed them at my home Wednesday evening and at our club meeting that Friday. Thank you all for your assistance and your hospitality! It was a great experience, but I couldn't have done it without my village, I mean, Rotary Club!
First Fridays

Thanks to Scott Brix and to Food Shed for hosting our October 1st Friday Social Event. 

 

Looking ahead to November - We'll be at Niko's on November 6, 2026.
