A very surprised Sonie Hash was inducted on Monday as our most recent Paul Harris Fellow courtesy of her husband Jay Hash. Sonie is a long time member of Rotary, past president of our club and a champion for the Rose Sale having chaired it for a decade or more before handing it over to Samantha Comer. However, I still see she is there on Rose Sale Day so I think her help is still being felt. Please welcome Sonie as our newest Paul Harris Fellow!

Games such as bowling, Jenga, Duck Derby, Spoons, Concentration, Ping Pong in Cup, M & M and Straw and Black Jack will be available to earn more tickets towards the major prizes.

Rotarians Participate in Transcending Lives Ceremony

On Friday, SOMC officially conducted a groundbreaking for the new Hospice addition after a successful Transcending Lives campaign led by our own Mary Arnzen. It was great for a few of us Rotarians to be there for the ceremony (Tess Midkiff, William McKinley, Gerald Jenkins, Mary Arnzen and President Samantha Comer) to help celebrate this milestone and our small part in contributing to the project.
