President Holly thanks our speaker, Mirna Tomsic for her presentation today.  Mirna founded and runs Mirna's place and shared with us the founding and growth of Mirna's place which distributes merchandise and support to local charities to help them further their causes.  A very compelling story.  For more information on Mirna' Place, click HERE

Welcome Rick Kelly

The club was very pleased to welcome our newest member, Rick Kelly at last weel's meeting.  Rick is a retired high school teacher from Beaverton, Oregon who now makes Verrado his full time home. Welcome Rick!

President Holly picks a raffle ticket for Don Ester.  Coffee? Doughnuts? A place to sit when you arrive at Rotary?  Say thanks to Don Ester who makes this happen before every meeting, in addition to running our raffle.

No Verrado Rotary meeting would be complete without Happy Bucks.  Ed Williams makes our Happy Bucks session the most popular and enjoyable part of every meeting.
