Groundhog Day Evolved
ROTARY BULLETIN February 2, 2006
By bits and pieces, Groundhog Day evolved.

As of last night, 4 Rotarians (and spouses) notified the RS that they would attend. Wouldn't mind some more company! Please call the Roger Sherman to let them know that you will attend. No need to call if you will not. Looking forward to seeing you.

Wild Bill Buffalo reports that Skip and Margo will join us. Any more takers?
