Deb Brubaker - Classification
Thank You Rotarian Deb for a fascinating classification talk at on Aug. 4.  As a Toastmasteryour excellent presentation style provided an insightful walk through your life sharing family history, a diverse career background, travel experiences and passion for the theater.  When ask why she joined our Rotary Club she said she was attracted to Rotary based on the Four Way Test which showed her it was a group of like-minded people. One of her favorite quotes is: "Ah, kindness.  What a simple way to tell another struggling soul there is still love in this world." (Allison A. Malee).
