COMMITTEE REPORTS
President Will Gruver
June 20 was Will's final meeting as El Presidente! He thanked everyone for supporting him during a great Rotary year. He said he came in as a member of Rotary, and is ending his presidency as a Rotarian. Will led us in a round of Rotary Jeopardy in place of our regularly scheduled speaker and he paid for everyone's lunch :-)
