• St. John's Rotary says Thanks - Katie Kingsley shared a special thank you note from the St. John's Rotary Club for the donation our Club members made to help with recovery from the devastating hurricane.  They were able to use the funds for scholarships and school supplies - programs that they usually support but have been unable to since they could not hold any fundraisers.  They had not met as a club since August 2017 and were thankful to have their first meeting earlier this month.

• Membership - Dues are due!  Anyone considering resigning from the club, in the near future, should notify Carmen Carpentier or Marsha Cook at Plattsburgh.rotary@gmail.com.  The district office sends our club a billing statement for dues using the club roster as of May 31st and November 30th.  The club is required to pay these dues, even if someone is no longer with the club.  Rotarians who may have a medical/family reason why they cannot attend meetings, please contact Carmen or a member of the Membership Committee, as you may be able to obtain a medical leave of absence.
