There is no regular Rotary Club meeting on September 17. Instead a social and dinner is being held at the home of Nancy Mason at 5pm on Saturday, September 19. Attire is "country casual" and everyone is invited to arrive early to tour the 165 acre Bluestone Sanctuary with two miles of trails, three ponds stocked with fish, eagles' nest, wild turkey and various farm animals including buffalo. About 50 species of birds inhabit Bluestone Sanctuary bordering the South Branch of the Patapsco River. The catered dinner menu is included on the flyer below. For questions, please call Nancy at 443-803-6547.

Go past I-70 and turn left onto Old Frederick Road
Opposite Roundgate Court turn right onto country road

[The last mile is unpaved, so vehicles with very low clearance are not recommended.]
Each month Alex Naron faithfully leads a group of volunteers packing boxes for families needing food in Montgomery County. Join him on the second Tuesday of every month at 7pm at Manna Food Center, 9311 Gaither Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20877. It really is good exercise!
