Last Friday April 8, 2022, President-elect Lynn Hamilton, subbing for President Mark (who was headed with wife Traci to see their son graduate from USAF flight school) welcomed around 30+ Canton Rotarians, and one guest, Alena Fiooca, guest of VP Paul Hervey. Those on site and on Zoom saw a great presentation from Kelly Joseph, from Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway, describing W&LE's far reaching business and their positive impact on the local economy! Thanks so much, Kelly!
Secretary Paula presented the following interesting info:
