Today is a perfect day to reflect on the four-way test.
Membership
This week's speaker is our very own Tony Owings. He will discuss Rotary membership and, specifically, our club. Don't miss it. It will be inspirational, especially to new or prospective members. This is a perfect week to bring a friend.
Red Cross
Last week's speaker was Liza Cruze of the American Red Cross. She discussed the organization's mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering in emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. And the many ways it supports communities, from blood drives to disaster relief and recovery.
