900 Visitors to this Blog

When will we hit 1000?

I predict by next Wednesday meeting. The easiest way to give someone the address this site, is to just tell them to "google" Alma Rotary. We are usually the first or second item in the search. Today, the Garrett Lewis Video that is posted on You Tube popped in as the first entry. That wouldn't take to you to site.
Or you could do the old fashion way and give them the complete address which is:

www.almarotary.blogspot.com

If you do this, be sure and point out that there are two "dots" in the address.

I will try to post something new daily. So, make it your home page or check back often.

As you may have heard from the meeting today, A.C. Moncrief is in the hospital with kidney stones. Please keep him in your prayers.
