PROGRAM:

     Brian Brooks introduced this week's guest speaker, Pal-Mac High School World Language Teacher Dawn Stanziano, who briefed members on a special event she is planning for next spring. Dawn invited Rotarians, as well as Pal-Mac faculty and staff and members of the community, to participate in “A Day of Global Trekking at Pal-Mac” on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the high school.

     Volunteers will have an opportunity to share their international travel adventures with the community on that date from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 Noon. Participants will share their experiences through photos and personal recollections of other peoples and cultures.

     If you would be interested in participating in this first-ever community event, you may email Dawn at dawn.stanziano@palmaccsd.org.
