UGANDA Secondary School student scholarships. Pamela
updated the Club and passed around sponsorship forms. The
students start secondary school in January, so money is needed now to
allow wiring the money to the Tororo Rotary Club. Get your
completed forms and money to Pamela ASAP please. 
History Lesson. JoAnn gave
a great history story on the Green Mill Inn filled with first hand
stories and super pictures. Many local colorful characters,
including our very own Derek S. played, danced, and/or drank their ways through those famous doors.
