Club Secretary Dora Dye has set herself the goal of organizing the Club’s historical records during her two-year term on the Board. That’s in addition to her regular duties, which include taking minutes at the monthly Board meetings and maintaining the Club’s membership data with Rotary International. And, if that’s not enough, she also edits Grindings, the Club’s weekly newsletter; regularly updates the Club Website; and helps members interact with ClubRunner.
