At the Scottsdale North Rotary Club's first meeting of 2014, members rang in the new year with plans to continue to enrich the local community in 2014, and reviewed some of the programs they supported last year.  They also reminisced about the "just for fun" events, including the holiday party and fall weekend get away to Sedona.  This active, fun club meets Wednesday evenings at 5:45 at the Hacienda Mexican Grill at 32527 N. Scottsdale Road.  Visitors and "snowbirds" are always welcome.
