From our December 10th meeting.
It was a pleasure to have Matt & Brandi Bialek from Red Bomb Fireworks as guests. Rotarian Ron Knight presented the Vocational Award this year from our Club To Matt. His assistance with our annual Book Sale is invaluable, from shipping, storing, collecting, we could not have such a successful sale without them! Matt commended the Club on the work we do and advised he would be happy to continue to support our Book Sale.
Thanks Matt & Brandi!
