Hi Fellow Rotarians,
 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend, although some much needed rain visited New Hampshire. 
 
There is no meeting of the Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club this week because of the holiday, so enjoy the beautiful weather once Wednesday arrives.
 
The Board of Directors will meet on Wednesday, September 14th, at 8:00am, at the Jaffrey Chamber of Commerce office.
 
Our next meeting of the Club will be a Breakfast meeting at Franklin Pierce University on Thursday, September 15th. Our guest speaker will the Reverend Steve Miller, pastor of the First Church in Jaffrey, who will speak on indigenous friendships.
 
Yours in Service,
 
Peter

Richard Pedott Welcomed as our Newest Rotarian
 
One of the favorite jobs of being a Rotary Club president is inducting a new member.  Peter Russell's first inductee is Richard Pedott, who was inducted at our Thursday Breakfast meeting.  You might be asking, "Why is Richard's sponsoring Rotarian who invited Rich to become a Rotarian not standing behind him during his induction?"  Simple.  Rich was invited by President Peter to consider Rotary.  Welcome, Richard!
