District 6440 Governor Visits Grayslake Rotary, Inducts New Member

At the August 11th meeting of the Grayslake Rotary Club, we were visited by the Rotary District 6440 Governor, Ellen Young, who was our club's guest and featured speaker.  Gov Ellen had a PowerPoint presentation on the current state of Rotary International, our local District activities, and the status of ongoing Rotary projects such as End Polio Now and the new Foundation grant system.  As always, it was good to  "meet the boss" and get updated on the goings-on of Rotary above our local level.  We enjoyed Gov Ellen's visit, and look forward to working with her in the coming months to make it a productive and rewarding Rotary year.

As serendipity would have it, Tina Vaughn was due to be inducted as a new club member at this meeting, so we prevailed upon Gov Ellen for the honor of presenting Tina her Rotary membership pin, after being sworn in by Club President Michael Marassa.  Welcome to Tina as our newest Rotarian - we look forward to doing great things together!
