President’s Message
 
Hi Everyone,
 
What a heart-warming experience to see and hear how REGL students are not only learning leadership skills during the REGL weekend but how they utilized their leadership training to create a student-to-student welcoming program at Ready Springs School.  Our REGL scholarships are making a difference in REGL scholar’s lives and in the lives of Ready Springs School new students.

Thank you to those who helped collect WOW points at Holiday Market on 8 December or our Christmas season food baskets for food challenged students in our Penn Valley community schools, William Ranch Elementary and Ready Springs Schools. Your service will be very much appreciated by the children and families who receive our Food Baskets at Christmas time.
 
Don’t forget our PV Rotary Club Christmas Party 11 December starting at 5:30 at Betty’s house. See Mark Fleming is you have not yet signed up.  You don’t want to miss this social time with fellow Rotarians.
 
This Tuesday will be a short Penn Valley Rotary Club Board Meeting immediately following our luncheon.  Yes, this Tuesday. 11 December,  will be a full day.
 
I am looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, 11 December 2018.
 
Mark
