Program: We had the pleasure of having two new Rotarians, Angela Cosby and Tom Channa, give their New Member talks. Always a great program to hear about our fellow Rotarians. If you missed out, find a time to hit them up for coffee or lunch. Thank you, Angela and Tom, for sharing your journeys with us!
Next Meeting: Tuesday, July 14th at the Community Center. We'll be hearing from Rich Fisher about WASH (water and sanitation and hygiene). WASH is a proposed global grant that intends to harvest, store and filter rainwater in six Kenya schools serving 4400 students in the Great Rift Valley. Additionally, the project will bring washable feminine kits for girls, handwashing, and a vegetable garden. This will be a GREAT program to see Rotary from a global perspective! See you then!
