Vocational Minute

Our meeting will be moved until Noon on Friday that week. You must register and the cost will be $15. If you are prepaid with your meals, you will be credited $9.
The banquet Saturday night will be an excellent opportunity to enjoy an evening of jazz. Sign up for all events on the Rotary District 6150 web site.
There will be an upcoming Delta Symphony Orchestra concert on Saturday, April 29. Communities that have creative arts make a more attractive location for businesses to locate. They are in all of the area schools working with students to expose them to the musical arts. We were gifted to hear a small portion of what would take place at the concert.
Also keep in mind…

Program
Margaret Holloway introduced Tim McGowan, magician and husband of our mayor from Paragould. Tim was able to wow and amaze our Rotarians with his slight of hand. Kudos to Josh Fletcher for truly being all wet as part of the show!
