PROGRAM:



BILL HATFIELD introduced fellow Rotarian and West Lafayette Mayor JAN MILLS. JAN has a BS in Entomology from Iowa State and worked as a research technician in the Bio Chemistry Department at Purdue. Her service to the community on boards and councils and committees prior to becoming mayor is impressive.

She spoke to us about projects in many of the city departments that are in the works or are planned for the near future. Beginning with snow removal equipment for trails and ending with sidewalk and curb improvement, the list also included Wabash Landing, Sagamore Parkway and neighborhood preservation work. She will be putting in long days to complete this "to do" list!

STUDENT GUESTS:

MARGARET HALL introduced Erin Riehle and John Buckles from McCutcheon High School. Each received a certificate and a travel mug with the four-way test to commemorate meeting with us.
