Just so we don't completely lose touch with one another....I am willing to keep the Rotar Rooter going each week through email. Send me anything you'd like to announce and I'll compile everything and send it out Wednesday morning.
Also, let me know if you are participating in service projects or are able to do something to make the world a better place.
In the interest of being fair to all concerned, the board agreed to continue payments to Famous Dave's, even though we won't be there for awhile. We paid the regular, full price ($350) for the March 18 meeting we called off at the last minute. March 25th was already scheduled to be offsite, with no payment intended or expected. Then we offered to pay $175 for every week after that that we don't meet. With no food and no labor costs, this should be a good source of revenue for them during what will no doubt be an economically stressful time. Obviously, we'll resume to our regular payment schedule when we are back in action.
We have a new member who would like to join our ranks. Christian Castellano is a local chiropractor who recently moved to this area with his wife. Unless anyone objects, he will officially become a member on April 1st.
