PROGRAM PREVIEW

"Your Chamber"

Bill Allen

President / CEO

Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce

A relative newcomer to Beaumont, Bill Allen took the helm of the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce in the fall of 2018. He quickly settled into the city and his job, and got down to the business of immersing himself in the mission and goals of the Chamber and the busy schedule of projects and events.

The Rotary Club of Beaumont happily welcomed Bill to membership in September 2018 and we are eager to hear from him about the work of the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, "Your Chamber" and his vision for the new year.

March 7, 2018 was certainly a day to remember for our Club.

The person who led the way for women to be admitted as full and equal members of Rotary International, and who went on to become the first woman to hold the position of President of a Rotary Club anywhere in the world visited the Rotary Club of Beaumont to tell her story. What a privilege it was to be with her and hear of the legal struggle that took place just a little over thirty years ago!

Thank you to Rebekah Maxwell for service as Chair of the International Women's Day program, and to Becky Mason for being the impetus behind Dr. Whitlock's visit to Beaumont and for handling the necessary arrangements. Many thanks to all the Rotarians who served on the 2018 International Women's Day committee.

Thank you to Paula Bothe and Four Alarm Productions for recording the event so others might enjoy it and so our members can re-visit the occasion again and again.

And now, welcome to the March 7, 2018 meeting of the Rotary Club of Beaumont:
