No judgment. No objections. Just clear evidence of a good time.
Join us Thursday, July 2, from 4–6 p.m. for our monthly Member Relations Happy Hour at Judges DSM as we raise a glass to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of independence and strengthen the connections that make our club thrive.
Come downtown for casual conversation, cocktails, appetizers, and Rotary fellowship as we kick off this milestone year together. Bring a friend and help us celebrate the friendships, freedoms, and connections that make our club strong.
CONGRATULATIONS TO DMAM ROTARY
GUARDIAN OF INTEGRITY AWARD RECIPIENT JOHN BOUSLOG
This award is named in honor of Boone Rotarian and Past District Governor, Judge Paul E. Hellwege (1912–2010). It was established to promote service, as well as the ideals of integrity, fairness and respect. The awards are presented annually to Rotarians who have made outstanding service contributions that exemplify these ideals in their personal and professional lives.
TREASURER'S NOTICE: DUES UPDATE FOR 2026-2027 ROTARY YEAR
Please note that beginning next quarter, quarterly dues will increase by $10. This adjustment reflects rising costs passed down to us from Rotary International and District 6000, as well as the club's decision to move our bookkeeping services from a volunteer role to a paid position. We've worked to keep the increase as modest as possible while continuing to meet our obligations and maintain reliable financial management. We appreciate your understanding and continued commitment to the club. Please reach out to our Treasurer, Dan Montgomery if you should have any questions.
SIGN UP TO BE BILLED MEMBER DUES ANNUALLY
With our Rotary fiscal year running from July 1 to June 30, we are offering the option for member dues to be billed annually instead of quarterly. There is no discount offered for annual billing.
If you would like to be added to the list for annual billing effective July 1, 2026, sign up on the sheet at a Friday Rotary meeting or email club administrator Liz O'Connor at liz@rotaryclubofdmam.com.
