On Tuesday, March 10th, our Rotary lunch program is the annual Invention Convention!

Every year, our club hosts the Invention Convention, where students from Miller Elementary School are encouraged to think up (and present to the club and their family members) their inventions to “save the world” or just make life a little easier for all of us. It’s absolutely amazing what ideas these young entrepreneurs come up with and this event always leaves us feeling more positive about the future!

We’ll be over at the Riverhouse Convention Center this week.
