President's Message - May 30 , 2017

As we celebrated Memorial Day, let us not forget those who gave the greatest sacrifice to protect our freedom. A poem from Laurence Binyon, "For the Fallen":

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Thank you also to those who have served.

On a Rotary note, this week is the first of the month and we will be collecting food for the needy. This all goes to local families in need. Also, this weekend we will be mulching and cleaning the exterior of the Hillside School. If you haven't RSVP'd and would like to help, please let Gary Guthrie know. I look forward to seeing you this Thursday morning at our regularly stated breakfast meeting! - Jeff McElhaney Jr.
