Survey
Your input needed!


As we look toward the next Rotary year, we want to ensure our club’s energy and resources are focused where they matter most – both for our community and for you – so we are conducting a brief Spring 2026 Member Survey.

Please respond at the link above by Thursday, May 7. If you are not comfortable completing the survey online, there are copies at the back table at the Rotary meeting. Please return a completed copy next week.

Survey
Quiz: Name That Rotarian!

The program committee for 2026 -2027 is adding a segment called “Name That Rotarian” to our meetings. Club members will be able to guess the identities of other members by seeing early photos along with some fun facts about them.

Submit your photos and completed questionnaire to Anna Lee to play along.



Thursday, April 30
Truel Myers Shares The Joy of Fly Fishing

Our guest on Thursday, April 30 will be Truel Myers, a legend in the world of fly fishing. He will share The Joy of Fly Fishing.

Truel is a master casting instructor and one of the most recognized and respected educators at the Orvis Fly Fishing School. Throughout his career, Truel has taught countless anglers the art and technique of fly casting, with an emphasis on patience, precision, and a genuine love for the outdoors.

Known for his passion, expertise, and ability to make the sport accessible to anyone, Truel has inspired generations of fly fishers across the country.
