Beginning with the February 3rd Membership meeting, we will re-commence having hybrid meetings. This means that you can participate in the meeting through Zoom or you can attend at Little America and have lunch. The seating will be four to a table and you must wear a mask except when eating. Social distancing will be observed. This decision was made by the Rotary Board at their January 27th meeting. The hybrid meeting format is in effect until further notice.
To join a Membership meeting with Zoom, follow the meetings information below.
