The Rotary Club of Prince George County, where Guests are always welcome!
CLUB ASSEMBLY ON SEPTEMBER 8!
Committee chairs, front and center tomorrow! We're all interested in what you and your team are doing. It's a great time to put some of that creativity into action and talk goals, timetables and results. What's the status of your
committee's work?
OCTOBER LOOMS LARGE!
THERE'S FUN TO BE HAD
The Rotary District Conference is right around the corner. The theme is Mardi Gras, so grab your mask and register online to attend. You can find great masks in Hopewell at Celia's Attic at 308 E. Broadway, next to Dollar General Store and across from the new Social Services Building. See her great selection!

Past President Donna Street invites you to prepare for the DISTRICT CONFERENCE coming up soon. October 15-17 at Norfolk Waterside Marriott, 325 E. Main St., Norfolk, VA 23510.
Go to the www.Rotary District 7600.com website for information regarding online registration for the conference. Don't forget your promo code: "Rotary Rate", which will get your room for $115 per night. At the District Conference, new Rotarians can learn so much about the spirit of Rotary and its world service projects....not only outside the U.S., but inside the U.S. as well. Learn about Rotary's youth programs. Hear inspiring speakers and informative sessions that will make you proud.
Vantage Point FCU's Ed Wills,
Member Services Manager
Vantage Point Federal Credit Union has no customers....ONLY MEMBERS.
Mr. Ed Wills cited several other ways that credit unions differ from banking institutions: federal credit unions (fcu) have a volunteer, unpaid board of directors, fcu's lend only to their members....small loans to small business or to individuals, fcu's have great rates for their members on car loans and on savings as well.
DICTIONARY PROJECT
Be thinking about carving time from your schedule to present dictionaries to 3rd. graders and students in Prince George County's alternative school. It brings positive regard to our club and inspires other clubs to do likewise in their communities. Books will be in by the end of the month. We'll schedule a bookplate pasting for the whole club's participation. Prince George Rotarians serving the community.
