The Rotary 4 Way Test of the things we say and do:

1.Is it the truth?

2. Is it fair to all concerned?

3. Will it build goodwill better friendships?

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

And, no. 5. Make it Fun!

LMR Membership Campaign

Posted by Naomi Lewis

Membership in LMR is by invitation. I'm sure we all know some folks with great personalities that we'd love to work with.

Since we launched our Membership campaign in October, members have brought 111 Non-Rotarian guests have visited our meetings, 7 of which are now members. And, on March 31, 2016 we are inducting 3 more.

Keep up the great work. Don't forget, in April members who have brought the most guests will be served ice cream by the losers that brought the fewest.

Goals and Objectives for 2015-16 Governors Cup?

Sense & Nonsense

Folks from Ohio don't always get it

A social worker from Ohio who was recently transferred to the mountains of North Georgia, was on the first tour of his new territory when he came upon the tiniest cabin he had ever seen in his life. Intrigued, he went up and knocked on the door.

"Anybody home?" he asked. "Yep," came a kid's voice through the door.

"Is your father there?" asked the social worker.

"Pa? Nope, he left before Ma came in," said the kid.

"Well, is your mother there?" persisted the social worker.

"'Ma? Nope, she left just before I got here," said the kid.

"But what," protested the social worker, "are you never together as a family?"

''Sure, but not here," said the kid through the door. "This is the outhouse."
