Last Thursday’s “Service Above Self” lunch was a heart warming and nearly sold-out event! It was evident our honorees, Jeb Balise and John Calipari, along with Jim Russell were touched to be recognized. It was a privilege to be President of the Springfield Rotary Club and address the attendees. I am hopeful many of them will take advantage of the “Guest Lunch cards” that were distributed on the tables and come visit us at Rotary .

Thank you to all of you who supported The Ninth Annual “Service Above Self” lunch.  It was a privilege to be President of the Springfield Rotary Club and address the attendees.  “Guest Lunch cards” were distributed at the event and I hope many of the attendees will come and visit us at Rotary. GUEST cards (which provide a free lunch) are available for all members to give out to friends or co-workers who are curious about Rotary and want to know more. Please see me or Bert Carter for cards or more information.
