MEMORIAL DAY - NO MEETING
 
Whether you are honoring those who have served or serving your family the first grilled meal of the year, Memorial Day falls on a Monday this year (and every year), so we'll reconvene in June.  Have a SAFE long weekend!
There will be fireworks
 
 
My Waterloo Days events on Saturday June 10th will hit a crescendo with Rotary Fireworks!
Our club will be the major sponsor of the show using funds in a Community Foundation account from a similar sponsorship three years ago.
 
The Waterloo Rotary Fireworks Show will be held over the Cedar River following a lighted boat parade and hot air balloon glow at Lincoln Park. Wear a Rotary shirt at all the My Waterloo Days events and be sure to watch our contributions go up in smoke at 10 PM.  Here's a link to the My Waterloo Days schedule of events.

Club’s finances back in the black
 
Tough decisions last year are paying off
Last year the club’s board of directors made a number of very difficult decisions designed to improve club finances. The financial health of the club had worsened as membership dropped and club fund raisers became less successful.
 
Club members were made aware of the problem and participated in making those difficult decisions, which included terminating our executive secretary, Kelli McCarthy, and the closing of the club’s office.
 
 Last week our board received its monthly financial report which shows that the belt tightening last year is working. Through the first ten months of this Rotary year, net income exceeds expenses by $27,923.68.
 
Much of the credit for the turn around goes to Treasurer Julie Hayes and President Lauren Finke. As the year comes to an end on June 30, both women will turn over their responsibilities to new volunteers.
