Congratulations, Rotarian of the Month: Bill Malone
New Fizz Appearance/Format: The Fizz in undergoing a transition from being created as a Word document to being created by our ClubRunner Site. The advantage is more content. The disadvantage is all of the Fizz editors have to learn how to create the Fizz. Some weeks you may see this new format and other weeks you may see the old format. Please bear with us while we undergo this transition over the next few months.
Read Across America: Sat., March 2, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Volunteer readers are needed. See MikeDeLorenzo for details.
