They each told of their experience at the camp and what a wonderful experience and that they were honored to have been chosen to attend.They commented how important Rotary is to our community and that it was a gift to them for Rotary to have sent them, but it was also an investment in our community.
Betty Gill then gave them each a token of the club's appreciation for sharing their experiences. She also reminded everyone that we do not realize how we are changing the world, just by fostering leaders in our community.
A report was given on the Cara Williams Polio Benefit concert that was held last Friday night on July 30th at Centenary United Methodist Church. Attendance was reported to be 100 + in attendance. There was fabulous music, a great reception and an overall great benefit for Polio.
