Greeley Centennial Rotary
Please welcome our two newest Rotarians. Melissa Marmitt and Lauren Smith joined as Corporate Members. They both work in the City of Greeley Office Office of Economic Development. Scott inducted them into the Thursday group. Satellite PE Gary Hogan sponsored them into Centennial Rotary and joined us for their induction. The corporate membership allows Lauren to take Melissa’s place at meetings that she cannot attend, so we hope to see them frequently. They both have interesting stories and jobs – take some time to get to know them. Please welcome our two newest Rotarians. Melissa Marmitt and Lauren Smith joined as Corporate Members.
