PRESIDENT ALEX'S MESSAGE
Fellow Rotarians- It is hard to believe that one
month of Rotary Year 2023-2024 has come and gone. I believe that our lunch and
lunch service is improving. We will continue to work towards refining the
process so please be patient. Kurt Hilbert and I just returned
from Colombia where we met the Club's 2022-2023 GRSP Student Emilio Ochoa and
his family to celebrate Emilio's college graduation. We also connected with his
uncle, who is a Rotarian, and we are working towards a joint
international project - stay tuned! Our speaker this week is Congressman Rich McCormick of the 6th Congressional District. Congressman McCormick's resume includes being a Marine, a doctor, and a family man. He is a dynamic speaker, so I encourage everyone to attend.
