  • Ken announced that our own Area 7 had no host as of now for the annual speech contest.  No clubs had stepped forward to do this.  Mike doesn’t want it to fall by the wayside, so he said he would talk with AG Cheryl to see if something can’t be done; Mike is quite experienced in managing Rotary Speech Contests.
