THERE WILL BE NO REGULAR MEETING THAT DAY AT THE CENTER. The social event from 5:30-6:30pm has been totally underwritten by the Adrian Insurance Agency!!
Welcome Back Students – Thanks to those members and especially to Mark & Mary for arranging the event who braved the heat to participate in welcoming back students attending Adrian College and Siena Heights University in Downtown Adrian on Friday the 27th.

Thanks also to Brent Mercer for allowing us to set things up under his offices’ canopy!

Proceeds will go to Polio Plus, Rotary Woodworking Warriors and to the club. If you have not already, you are urged to make a donation to this effort or go on-line to register for the event at rotarybiketour.com.
