Last Week . . .
A packed meeting as always, and glad to have all our guests, including: Alexis Fox , Julie Ramey, Adler Blackmun, and Noah Brown. Thank you all for joining us.
Pedal the Pacific: The total of funds raised this year $12,000, but there was a $10K match, so the grand total raised was $22,000. Thank you to everyone that helped and contributed.
Red Badge Bio - Chris Benkert: You know that there's more to someone's story when their opening slide is subtitled
"Who is this guy & how did he eventually get it right?" I suspect that Chris
only gave us the tip of the iceberg but it was nice to learn about his upbringing, who inspired him, his wife Patricia, and more. You can
watch the video if you missed his bio or, better yet, talk with him at a meeting or on a bike ride.
Back from Uganda: Peggy Pollard has returned safely from Uganda and will share a slide show with us in a future meeting. She looked stunning in her Rotary Peace Angels Football Club shirt that she received on her trip.
