ATTENTION ROTARIANS!
 The Rotary highway cleanup is scheduled for 5/15, next Wed.  We will meet at CAT Graphics, 1600 Stuckey Rd and we will carpool to the interstate to clean highway mile 281 and 282, both sides. These miles run between Central Ave and Vaughn Rd, so it’s very close.  This is a new location for us, closer to town, flatter and less rattlesnakes!  After we are done, we will gather at the Halftime Sports Bar for appetizers, drinks or food and we can get to know each other better.  I will have the vests, bags and signs picked up and ready to go.  Ideally we need 10 volunteers, but the more the merrier!  If they could email me at carey@catgraphics.net, or call/text me 406-590-1603, I will get them added to the list.  I need their phone numbers and emails.  Highway cleanup is actually really fun, the weather should be great that day and it’s a perfect way to get to know your fellow rotarians better.  Lots of laughter goes on! 
There is now only 11 more days until the District 5390 Spectacular Raffle which will be held at the District Club Celebration in Missoula on May 18, 2024.
