Rotary:
A Tradition of Humanity
Paul Kiser, our District Public Relation Chair writes; "The
past few months of financial turmoil have impacted almost
every part of the world, and as members of the world
community Rotarians are no different. It is rare to have a
discussion about membership recruitment and retention
without the subject of economic hard times creeping into the
conversation." Read more of Paul's inspiring
article here.
