President's Message

This weekend some of us attended the District 6440 Winter training.

During the grant seminar, Governor Don Brewer recognized Narayan Murarka and our club for winning the Rotary Foundation Challenge Grant for a Water and Sanitation and Hygiene project in Guatemala.

This will be the topic of our presentation this week as Narayan will inform us of the specifics of this $552,500 grant project.

This type of project makes me very proud to be a Rotarian and especially proud to be a member of this Barrington Breakfast Club!
