Make a big mark on the square for Wednesday, August 15th on your calendar for the 2007 Chop and Corn Jubilee at the Alexandria Fire Department. Alexandria Rotarians and Alexandria Firefighters will be husking corn at 6 am and look forward to serving the community.
The annual fish fry at City Park was today and as usual, Charlie Meyer and his staff kept Rotarians well fed. There was no program today. Just good food, handshakes and conversation.
At today's meeting, Todd Emmons and Michelle Kelley gave a presentation about the Lakes Area Humane Society(LAHS) and the upcoming Fun Run. Todd, a Rotarian and also a board member of the LAHS, presented statistics about shelter's operations and also covered the needs that events such as the fun run will help fund.
