This is our 102nd year celebrating Loftus Day, which honors Rotarians loved/lost in the past year. Following tradition, we will hold a short program on Friday, September 11th which will give you complete details on finding the gravesites.  Please bring a bouquet of flowers (from your home garden, your favorite florist or roadside stand, etc), if you'd like to participate. At the end of the meeting, those wishing to go to the cemetery will gather.
