And...The Winner Is!

The April 27th meeting was a Club Assembly, and one major item on the agenda was the announcement that our own Arif Saleem was the winner of the hybrid car in the District 5890 Rotary Foundation Raffle! Way to go Saleem...and he was out of town so we couldn't congratulate him in person! On his return to town from a trip Saleem was called by a District representative who needed to get some information to complete awarding the car. Saleem was so stunned and in disbelief that he asked "It it the truth?" to which the reply was "Oh yes, and it's fair to all concerned as well."
