John White Program, March 25 -- great turnout!

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our special evening Rotary program in the Rotary International Auditorium on Wednesday, March 25, featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist John H. White speaking on “Peace and the Power of Photography.” Well over 120 people attended and response to John’s presentation was excellent.  A special thank you to Karen Kring and Gary Bowen for their instrumental work in making this event possible, and to the many Rotary volunteers who helped with registration and set-up that night.
