Today's Program

Today we will have a day of smiles. This is the day of giving when the Community Service Committee awards grant money to local non profit organizations and when the Scholarship Committee awards scholarships to high school seniors. The money awarded comes from your pledges to the club foundation. This is the money that you donate to the Grants Pass Rotary Club Foundation for future philanthropy. Thank you to all!

AND KUDOS GO TO.....

Having a viable website and a consistent social media campaign has been an issue for many many years. Today - through the efforts of a number of dedicated people - we now have both. Megan Pratt totally revamped the website. Ron Eichorn updates many of the categories. Gene Napier has also helped with the website. Fred Borngasser consistently posts news about our club on Facebook. Richard Acosta takes fabulous pictures for everyone to use. Debbie Thomas fills in now and then. It's a pleasure to have these tools literally at our finger tips. Here's a link to the website: http://grantspassrotary.org/ And here's a link to our Facebook page - if you "like it" you'll get feeds from it now and then. Have fun and stay informed. h https://www.facebook.com/grantspassrotary/ Using these two tools - you can find out information about the club, current events, meeting information, newletter archives and more. Try it - you'll like it.
