As we turn toward 2018 and welcome the New Year, I want to extend my gratitude to the entire club for your support, guidance, energy, spirit, good will, and friendship. I am so proud of our club and very much look forward to all the great things we are yet to accomplish. Here's to 2018!

I didn't forget. Did you?? : We're still in the midst of Every Rotarian, Every Year - the program that encourages all Rotarians - every single one of us - to contribute to the Rotary Foundation, annually. Last year, our club had the highest per capita giving rate in District 5520. One of President Michael's goals for this year is to have 100% participation in Rotary Foundation giving. An easy way to give is to go to Rotary.org. For every $10 contributed, you're entitled to one ticket in the Rotary Raffle (Cruise or Cash!!), AND contributions to the Rotary Foundation & RotaryDel Sol Foundation are tax deductible! Let's all make an effort to be 100%! We can do this.

• Kicking things off this year, we'll hear from Brian Cochran.  He'll be providing us with a Rotary del Sol Foundation update, setting the tone for another great year in Foundation participation!!
• Remember that our next Satellite Meeting is scheduled for January 15th, 2018 at Rio Bravo Brewing Co, as usual. So, come from fellowship, service, and delicious beers (if that's your fancy)!
• Don't forget to submit your auction and raffle items for the Governors Ball to Kit Turpen by Monday, Jan. 1 at kitturpen.5520@gmail.com. 

Let's Have a Great Week - and a great YEAR - in Rotary!
