Petoskey Rotary Noon Club NEWSLETTER
March 1, 2017
We received 9+ inches of snow today. Many brave souls risked life and limb to make it to Rotary, 29 to be exact plus about five guests.
A couple of notable shout outs go to Kent Cartwright and John Scholten. They gave the kids a snow day and then showed up today to Rotary. A big Shame on you for those that did not attend, myself included. I spent the day contemplating the snow removal effort
