Boy Scout Popcorn Sale
Troop 105 is in the midst of their popcorn sale.  Attached is an order form if you are interested in purchasing.  You can bring your order to our meeting on October 6th or email Amy Kolo-Elmhorst, akolo.elmhorst@gmail.com, with your order.  You can pay for your popcorn at the time of your order or when you pick it up.  
 
This is one of the best ways we can support Troop 105 so please consider purchasing! 
Fifth Monday Social 
Thanks to everyone who came out for our social: 'The Rotarians' knew their stuff and won trivia! 
 
Our next Fifth Monday Social will be on March 30th. Let Claire know if you have any ideas for what we can do. 
Last Week Speaker Summary

Last week was our first in-meeting service project, and it was a huge success. We donated over $500 worth of items to the Family House, putting together 10 welcome kits and 9 move out baskets, with extra supplies to hand out as needed. What a way to represent Service Above Self!
