It is with the deepest regret
that we announce the closing of
the Rotary Club of Damascus.
 
As of 31 March 2008,
after nearly 52 years of continuous and
dedicated activity on behalf of the community,
the club has ceased to be.

We will have a closing activity on April 17, 2008.
Interested individuals are encouraged to contact
Rotarians Jim Starcher or Bob Bokma
or any other club member if you wish to attend.

You are cordially invited to review our club's history
or visit our club scrapbook.

We wish to thank members of the Damascus community and
surrounding communities for their generous support over the years.
