  • Mask design with Rotary fabric needs to be ordered today with a response to Claudia’s email.

Friendships
Community Connections for Service
Professional Networking
Fun!

The Rotary Convention is all on line and free and we can join selected sessions. Roberta also has joined the Convention Walk Challenge and welcomes more walkers.
