New Rotary year starts July 1:
 
The 2019-2020 year is very quickly going to come to an end in a way that none of us could have ever imagined.  That will bring the 2020-2021 year and a lot of hope for a great year.  Our incoming president, Mary, has the energy and heart to continue the Plymouth Rotary as the great service organization it is.  However, she needs help!!!  She needs members to step up and be part of her Board of Directors.  Please reach out to Mary if you have questions and interest.

Brewfest sponsors.  Many of you have received commitments from businesses to sponsor the 2020 Brewfest.  As you know, it has been decided to not have the Brewfest in 2020.  However, we have received sponsorship dollars from many businesses and many have stated that they would like the Club to keep the money.  However, we have not received an answer from some of the sponsors that we have received funds from.  If you have not had the opportunity to reach out to the business that you contacted and we received money from, please take the time to do so in the near future.  Please contact Jim Crenna if you have questions.

The difficult decision has been made to cancel the 2020 Brew Fest.  2021 will be bigger and better!
