Hello Rotarians, Just wanted to remind you that we will be meeting Thursday evening at 6:00 pm at the Prairie Trails Restaurant for our German program and meal. Spouses or guests are welcome. Please let me know if you would like to attend and did not sign up last Wednesday. I need to give the country club a number Tuesday morning. Also, let me know if you plan on eating the German meal or if you prefer to order off the menu. We are not sure of the price of the meal but we think it will be around $11.50. Those of you who are on the meal plan or lunch ticket plan will pay approximately $3.25. Thanks and hope to see you Thursday. Bernie

This Wednesday we will be hearing from Jeff Miller who will be talking about an orphanage. Please remember we will be meeting on Feb. 18 at 6:00 pm at the country club and Kurt Bookout will be sharing his trip to Germany. There will be a choice of German food or you can order from the menu. Spouses or guests are welcome. We will have a sign up at the meeting this Wednesday and you can indicate your preference for the German meal or the menu option. We will not meet Feb. 17. Hope to see you Wednesday! Bernie
