Alan Stroshine - on Katherine Richardson's behalf - thanked the club for the donation towards the lactation pods that are being used by the CMC/DHK breastfeeding staff.

 

Beth Kirkpatrick asked for help with a password related to our gmail account so that she could upload some files for Follow Me to a thumbdrive (Hope I got that right,Beth!).

 

Mary Delisle thanked the large group of Rotarians for their help with cleaning up Pocket Park and invited members to swing by with water to help with the new plantings. 

 

Ann Looney shared that there will be a picnic at Kurn Hatten on Sept 25 from noon - 1:30 for those who would like to attend. They could also use more committee members.

 

Ken Jue shared that there will be a Paul Harris Fellow meeting after our May 27th meeting. 

 

Susan Newcomer thanked those who have been helping with sneakers and the everchanging logistics. Thanks for your patience - she's doing her best!

Just a reminder that Kathy has reached out to Keene Housing 4 times throughout the year and they are not offering the space yet. In addition, David Stinson checked in with the church on Central square, but they are not available until after July or August. Craig Stockwell is looking into the Show Room at the Colonial and will discuss this possibility with Alec Doyle. It's not for lack of trying.
