We had several visitors at our meeting. Our speaker Jim McKee arrived with our banner for this Rotary year 2016-2017 "R0tary Serving Humanity" as well as our member pins. He also brought a possible Rotarian as a guest. He was joined by Jack Harig who encouraged members to attend the Rotary Foundation Centennial Celebration in Cleveland in October. Candace Croner, the Rotary District 5510 Regional Coordinator was in town visiting her parents from Arizona.
 
Denny Liddle shared the Barbertonopoly games would be arriving the week of MumFest-and will be shipped from Michigan. The bulk of the games will be stored in Tim Brenner's warehouse. Denny will have about 60 at his office to be signed out for sales at various points around Barberton. Laura Thomas is heading up our MumFest table of the games.
