Pledge of Allegiance / Four Way Test Quote of the Day
We are sad to say that our good friend and Rotarian Jennifer Greiner will be leaving us and moving on to the New Britain Council. She has been a bright light in our organization. Joey always has a smile and she’s always willing to help. She will truly be missed, but she promises that she will come back and help us with the Mumathon race. We all want to wish her nothing but the best in life. Thank you Jennifer for all you do.

A third grader Eva, from a school in Northern Virginia, reached out to us asking to tell her about Connecticut. She will be presenting Connecticut at her local state fair. Last week I passed out with questions she was asking. I know Whit Betts took the initiative to send it out and we thank him for that.. looking for more participation. I think it would mean a world to this young lady if we had a multitude of people responding.

Mary Etter is feeling better and should be back with us for our meeting on the 24th.

Kelly from interact will be retiring at the end of this school year and we want to honor her by making her an Honorary Member of Rotary. She has done so much for our organization with the Interact students in our city. More discussion is needed on this.
"In response to a request for help by St Vincent DePaul a Bristol Rotary volunteer worked 11pm-3am on Feb. 12th at overflow shelter for the homeless."
This is one of the many ways in which the Bristol Rotary Club supports the Bristol Community.
