Note about meeting venue: This week the Club will once again hold an in-person meeting at the Holiday Inn. The Holiday Inn is committed to providing appropriate social distancing at tables and a plated meal that will be served to members as opposed to a buffet. They also need a headcount so please let Steve Truax know if you plan to attend. There is an opportunity for those not attending at the Holiday Inn to participate electronically.

Thanks to so many generous members, the Club has gone over its annual fund goal of $15,000. Many members continue to be within $500 of their next Paul Harris level ($1,000). Please call Pete Mulford at 304-268-5627 if you would like to consider the match, or get to Paul Harris on your own. You can send your Rotary Foundation check to Pete Dufourny at our Club address: PO Box 2073, Martinsburg 25402, or go online if you are signed in to MyRotary.org, or through your DACdb account.
Steve Truax is looking for more new members to present biographies, and is having a hard time reaching people. If you are willing to present your biography very informally or know of another interesting program please let Steve know at (304) 279-0653 (voice or text).
