Updates, News and Ideas

First Fridays are Important!

“First Fridays” provide an opportunity for friendship, camaraderie, fellowship. Whether you are part of the “traditional” noon Rotary meetings at Woodstock Country Club, or you are more apt to show at the 2x per month Wednesday evening “Happy Hour” / Extension Club, our First Friday gatherings are a chance for ALL Rotary Club of Woodstock to gather! 

Friday, August 7 is at Ortmann's. Please show our amazing D200 Education Foundation some love. This is their evening to help with fun & fundraising, so it would be a wonderful evening for Rotary to show up en masse! Most of us will arrive right about 5:30, though a few Rotarians have been known to arrive to First Fridays a bit early! No harm in that.

SEPTEMBER 4 - Extra Special First Friday! Party at Al's House!  Details to come!

UPDATE!! Friday, October 2 will be at Kingston Lanes. We typically start gathering at 5:30, though no one is telling you NOT to come a little early. Go to the outside bar behind the building (by the volleyball courts and bag courts). The bar is covered in case of rain and may not have a spot for everyone underneath. BUT never fear, there is an excellent space and bar area in the front of the bowling alley - INSIDE! Put this on your calendar.
