ROTARY FAMILY LUNCH - TUESDAYS in HOWELL
FAMILY OF ROTARY LUNCH WEEKLY
 
He's no longer MIA!  This note from Tom Archer:
 
Rotarians,  
"It's me.  I am alive."
 
Get to know your fellow Rotarians better. Join us every TUESDAY thru March 29th  or stimulating conversation, tidbits of inside information, good foodfun and fellowship outside of our regular Friday meetings. We meet at noon at Coratti's Pizzeria in Howell. Plenty of free parking, but not much out back.
 
 Click on the link here to read their menu and be prepared to order promptly at NOON! 
 
You must try their delicious sorbetto and gelato, made with the Cadillac of all gelato machines, with training in Italy! It's not on the menu. Gotta ask for a taste.
 
Invite  your extended Rotary Family [aka spouses], friends or co-workers. This also is a great way to introduce them to our club and what makes LSRC so special! There simply isn't enough time at our weekly meetings to get to know one another better. SO, EACH ONE BRING ONE. 
 
Warmest regards,
Tom Archer
