"President Satya made a number of  important announcements:  Worcester Business Expo will be on October 2, and we are encouraged to attend.  There will be no Club meeting on the following day, Oct. 3.  

Our club will be represented at the Columbus Day Parade on Oct. 13, and we will have shirts with the Rotary logo on it.  

Oct 18th - Glowball!

On October 26, we will recognize additional new members.  

Chet Caswell introduced our speaker Mr. Kaska Yawo, who is the Executive Director of the African Education Program in Worcester.  He also is a new member of our club.

Kaska presented a moving program in which he described his experiences as a refugee in Africa.  He came to the United States at the age of 20 after escaping from tribal warfare in his home country of Liberia.  Many of his relatives were killed, and he struggled for survival, moving from one African country to another.  As a result of his experiences, he committed himself to helping children from Africa obtain an education here.  There will be a fundraiser for his organization on October 24 at the UMass Medical School."
