From the Prez
I was asked to do a post for the Rotary International blog on their website. While I was
working on that, a reporter for Rotary Magazine contacted me. He is doing an article
about Passport clubs and how we fit the structure of Rotary.
We are now a peacebuilder club. Larry Horton and the team have done a great job.
We are going to raise money. I know some of you set the club up with no fundraising in
mind. Participation in fundraising is optional. Any money we receive will allow us to extend our reach and do more good things around the world.
We are getting into auctions! Donations of items are encouraged for all members. The money will help us fund projects the club is passionate about. Something you have, or
someone you know. Consider it and help us achieve great things in the world!
