It was a pleasure to have District Governor Elect, Mike Ruby and his wife Jo Anne from the Muscatine club attend our meeting last week. DGE Ruby was making the rounds to clubs in anticipation of his year at District Governor in 2017-18.

DGE Mike Ruby also encouraged Rotarians to attend the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta, June 10-14, 2017, or next year in Toronto, Ontario from June 24-27, 2018.
