McKinney Sunset Satellite Club
Do you need to make up a meeting to keep your attendance record at a respectable level? You will get credit if you attend the Happy Hour at Dempsey's Place in Historic Downtown McKinney tomorrow at 5:30 pm.
Your satellite Rotary Club, McKinney Sunset, meets the first Thursday of the month at the Hampton Inn, 2800 N. Central Expressway at 5:30 PM to hear a great program speaker, and the third Thursdayof the month for a Happy Hour at a local pub or restaurant at 5:30 PM. Each quarter, the club meets on a Saturday for a service project. This quarter, the Sunset members will be doing their part to prep flag routes and also to serve breakfast to pilots for Challenge Air this coming Saturday.
They could use some more members, so if you know of a prospective Rotarian who prefers two meetings a month instead of four and reduced dues of $55 per quarter, tell them about McKinney Sunset and then pass along the information to Debra Pope, Sunset Chair (dpope@cruiseone.com).
