State of the City
State of the City:  Scot Simpson did his usual fine job in providing an overview of the 'possibilities to progress' that River Falls has made in the last year.  He gave credit to the many organizations and many connections that make River Falls such a fine place to live, work, educate, and raise our families.  As it was last year, the State of the City was in effect a Rotary meeting with a Rotarian speaker, great Rotarian attendance, and lots of guests at "our" meetingwink!
District Governor Visit - Dayle Quigley 
District Governor Dayle Quigley addressed the club on why she joined Rotary, why she stays, and where she sees Rotary going.  She began by saying that she learned some of the tenets of Rotary growing up in Baltimore. One of her grandmothers taught her by example that one is never too old to make changes and do new things; and she told Dayle that when someone tells you that something can’t be done, it is a challenge.  Her other grandmother raised 3 boys on her own and taught her that what you leave behind at the end of life isn’t important; it’s what you give to others while you’re alive.  Dayle’s grandmother had little left of value when she died, but it turned out that she’d given much to many in the community where she lived.
