Hello Party People!
Save the date: Saturday, June 28
For the Party of the Year!
Join your Rotary Club members in demoting Keith Walter, President 2024-25, and welcoming Betsy Alberts as President for 2025-26. Of course, we will have some frivolity with Keith during the Happy Hour and then some celebration after dinner.
DEMOTION - the event is this Saturday (6/28/2025) at the North Ridge Country Club here in Fair Oaks. There has been a minor change in start time since we don't have to account for travel time from the Pre-Dinner Social to the Dinner Service/Program, as we've done in previous years. Start time is now 5:30 PM (not 5:00pm). Event hours are: Pre-Dinner Social Check-In/Social Hour Dinner Service 5:30pm - 6:30pm 6:15pm -7:00pm 7:00pm - 8:00pm 8:00pm - 9:00pm 9:00pm - ? If you haven't paid for your meal yet, you can correct that on Saturday: we'll take check or credit card for payment -- no cash as we won't be making change. |
