Dear Rotarians,
What a fantastic time we had at last week’s Happy Hour at The Warehouse!
The evening was filled with laughter, lively conversation, and even a little impromptu game of musical chairs as we table-hopped and mingled. It was heartwarming to see everyone connecting and enjoying each other’s company in true Rotary spirit.

This Week’s Keynote Speaker: Joel Busa – You Don’t Want to Miss It!
We’re kicking off our speaker series with a bang this Thursday!
Our very first guest of the new Rotary year is Joel Busa, and he’s flying in from Houston to give us an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at space exploration.
Joel is a recognized domain expert in human-rated real-time embedded systems and delivering mission-critical software for NASA and will present a behind the scenes glimpse of today’s Space Initiatives and Moon exploration. Learn firsthand what our future is in space!
He’s also has something extra special just for our club so bring a friend or family member and join us for a night of wonder and inspiration!
Guest Dinner: $45 at the door
Please text me by Tuesday afternoon if you're bringing a guest. We need a headcount.
