Breakfast with Santa - Dixie Sunrise Rotary Style

Hi Everyone,

Many thanks to those who were in attendance yesterday - we missed those of you who weren't able to attend.

At yesterday's meeting Carl announced that he's having an open house and invited all his fellow Rotarians to attend.  I've emailed a small flyer to everyone announcing the same.  Don't worry about Carl's Detroit background - the Kulyk's home is located in SunRiver (the High Rent - Low Crime section of St George) plus he's a Marine.

Marla has offered to correlate a Breakfast of Christmas Cheer and Gratitude which will be on the 16th - the flyer is also attached.

Next week - December 9th, I've arranged for Dave Hawk of Servpro to join us and advise us on the fire dangers that are so frequent this time of year and how to avoid them in our own homes.

Information on Servpro can be obtained by clicking here.

Thanks for all your support and service.

Yours in Rotary,

-Mark
