Now Meeting on 1st & 3rd Tuesdays

Beginning on January 7th, we are going to experiment with twice monthly meetings. The purpose will be to see if there is an increase in attendance as well as making it easier for new members to commit to only two meetings per month instead of weekly meetings. Additionally, we plan to have a third get together during the month at other venues. Could be an after-hours happy hour or a breakfast get together.

Things change over time and GP Metro Rotary is embracing change. This experiment is scheduled to last until the end of March when it will be re-valuated. Join us on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday at noon at the Ruthe Jackson Center. Check back on this website to see what other activities we have planned. We plan to make 2020 a banner year for growth and service!
