Greetings, Oil City Rotarians!

I hope you don't mind me forwarding you a copy of this week's Franklin Rotary Club Bulletin. Since we'll be having a joint lunch meeting this  Tuesday the 17th at Vo-Tech, I figured you may find some of the information in our bulletin useful.
 
Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions :)
I look forward to hopefully seeing you on Tuesday!
Yours in service,

Weekly Club Bulletin
