From District Governor Scott R. Schulick   
     The Rotary Foundation Art Auction will be held on Friday, February 1, 2019 at the SOAP Gallery in Youngstown, OH.  We're looking for Rotarians who may be artists using any media to participate in the event buy donating a piece of their original art which will be auctioned off to those attending the event.  We think this will be fun and a great way to "BE THE INSPIRATION!"
     We will also be host to two very special guests:  Mary Beth Growney Selene, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Rotary Foundation, and Stephanie Urchick, Director-Elect of Rotary International.  This will be an opportunity for you to meet some of our global Rotary leaders!
     I hope that each of you and members from your club will attend the event.  Tickets are $35 each or $60 per couple.  Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be served. 
     For those traveling to Youngstown, you might also consider attending the inaugural Groundhog Day Beer fest which will be hosted by my home club on Saturday, February 2 at Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown.  Overnight accommodations will be available at the Doubletree Downtown Youngstown and I will let you know when a room block has been secured.
