May 2026
From the desk of President Billy
Please put on your calendar Monday May 25th that we will have our annual Memorial Day Service at our Flagpole directly after the American Legion sponsored Community Memorial Day Service at the Westhampton Cemetery. The Rotary Ceremony should start approximately 12:15, which is 15-20 minutes after the American Legion service at the cemetery.
Our Service to honor our Men and Women is welcome to the community and especially all of our families.
We will have Two (2) Vietnam Heroes that will honor us with a few words and I am sure you will want to be part of the experience as well as some other special moments.
Please mark in pencil, we're planning our annual Installation and Awards Night for June 23. Location TBD, our committee (Patricia DiBennedetto and Sharon Stoehr) are working on it.

Our own Peggy Jayne was out there cleaning up our stretch of highway in April. It was a change from the usual date due to circumstances, but check the calendar and see if you can't get out there to help out in May.
