Rotary

What a wonderful experience we had this morning! Twenty one members attended the first face to face (and hug to hug) meeting of our Club in 15 months. We also participated in a simplified breakfast which should reduce the cost of our meetings. Life is good!

Here are a listing of resources our speaker Kelly Rankich provided to us.
