The Shelbyville Rotary Club held a busy Monday meeting on November 18. Although they did not have a speaker they had many items of business to deal with, that kept them busy for the rest of the meeting.

New member Kim Durbin was in attendance for the first time. She is the manager of the Villas of Hollybrook, in Shelbyville and said that they have opened a new facility in Washington Illinois and it may have experienced some damage from the recent tornado that hit that town.

Denise Bence came up as a nominee for new member to the club. Denise was accepted to the club by unanimous vote. The Shelbyville Rotary Club also voted to retain Liz Nohren as Club Treasury, and Jim Bolinger as Club Secretary.
