Why does Club President Kitty Zuckerman have a blue wine bottle at breakfast?

Ask her! 

President Kitty Zuckerman and Membership Chair Lea Glembot share a laugh with the Rotary Club of Frederick County's newest member Philip Gould.  Philip is sponsored by Steve Gyurisin.

Rotarian Philip Gould gives a bit of his backgound following his Rotary Welcoming Ceremony.  He recently moved to the Stephens City area with his family and works as the branch manager with Union Bank located in the Martins grocery store.  Welcome to Frederick County, Virginia, Philip.

The Morning After Halloween

Trick or Treat! 

Only one costume appeared at our meeting the day after Halloween.  Rotarian Gerry Kiefer shows us how to dance the night away in her 1920's garb. 

Thanks, Gerry, for bringing the "kid" out in all of us.  Was it the "Charleston"?

CCAP Executive Director Fran Ricketts is handed the "Official" Rotary Club of Frederick County Coffee Mug following her presentation about the community needs that CCAP fills.
