Dear Fellow Rotarians, this past Friday we had a very upbeat “meeting” answering phones and meeting new friends at Shriner’s Hospital annual radiothon. Nicole Wheaton, a past recipient of Shriner’s services, shared her history with Shriners and why she was inspired to help raise over $20,000 for them this past summer. Her smile alone was inspiration for us all!

THIS FRIDAY, Catherine Williamson, a certified dementia practitioner and gerontologist with SilverLife Care at Home will speak about the Springfield Dementia Friendly Coalition.

SilverLife Care At Home is a Gerontologist certified At-Home "Life Care" agency that serves the WHOLE person in living their authentic life at home.

SAVE THE DATE! AND BUY YOUR TICKETS BEFORE NOV 1^st! The date of this year’s “Service Above Self” luncheon is Thursday, November 15^th and you won’t want to miss it. The 9^th Annual Service Above Self local honoree is Jeb Balise, the national honoree is Coach John Calipari and a special Rotary Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to our very own Jim Russell.
