Jim Gilmore, our illustrious president and District rep, is talking with a group of people in Ypsilanti who want to form an evening group as an offshoot of the Rotary Club of Ypsilanti luncheon meetings. So, if you have colleagues who work in Ypsi, and they would make great ROTARIANS, please pass their name along to Mr. Gilmore. Plan on attending the new club formation for a make-up meeting sometime this year.
