Announcements
 
  • Past President Dan B explained that Amazon is dropping us due to a technical "violation" of their usage rules, therefore when you purchase something from Amazon this year no donation will be made to Rotary. We lose approx. $107.00 (based on last years income) due to this situation but, we will make this up another way by not having to pay the annual fee for the Group Ahead app wich cost us approx. $350.00 per year. PP Dan also wanted the group to be aware that even though we are losing the  “Group Ahead” app ClubRunner has one that is pretty handy.  You can use this link to learn how to download it https://site.clubrunner.ca/page/clubrunner-mobile-app-now-available.
  • Cleve Coats explained that there are 44 Raffle tickets left. Please give your ticket stubs and payments to Cleve C. 
  • The group spoke about Charlie, that he is fine and at home now.  
  • There will be no meeting November 11th and 18th, but there will be a Joint meeting with Burlington, 11/22/2019, 12:15 PM, at the Hilton Garden Inn, 5 Wheeler Rd, Burlington, MA 01803
