This week's speaker is Russ Johnson of the Phoenix Herpatological Society. The Society is a long time participant in Special Day and I'm sure Russ will bring along some of his very interesting friends for Show and Tell!

Put on your calendar Rotary Day at Chase Field, Sunday September 13. The Diamondbacks take on the LA Dodgers at 1:10pm. Tickets are $25 and a portion of the ticket price will go to Polio Plus.

Please let me know by Friday August 21 if you want to reserve tickets.

Madge and I will be in New York City and upstate NY the next two weeks doing granddaughter care so our meetings will be in the capable hands of president elect Alan Bakst.
