Thank you Deems and Celeste for running our meeting and coordinating the food on Tuesday at Timberline Church. Sounds like we had some Interact Students also showed up....that is fantastic.
Next Tuesday, we will be back at the Marriott. Our program will be fellow Rotarian Emily Talentino discussing the unique challenges of an island community in Panama. This is a Rotary club we are thinking of partnering with for a Global Grant.
