DUXBURY ROTARY CLUB
Wednesday, November 1, 2017
 
President Fred reports that Jack O’Neil is coming home and that his wife June has been helping to get ads for the placemats.
 
Fred discussed Puerto Rico relief.  He will be sending a package to the President of the Sedra Club as a test to see if packages will, in fact, get to their intended recipients.  This is in preparation to sending water filtration equipment.  The Sedra Club building was destroyed but, despite this, the president of the club is planning a meeting.
 
Placemat ads are progressing and Steve reviewed the list of possible donors.
