Attendance at CFB Rotary's in-person meetings has been growing steadily. Today's full-house underscored the fact that we are pretty much "back to normal." As a result—after over a year—we are finally saying goodbye to Zoom, effective Thursday, July 8. Note: Zoom will still be available one more time, for the meeting next Thursday, June 24. Rotary will not meet on July 1.
