Paul encourages us to follow up with the thank you card. If you need any of our cards contact Liz (608)345-2108.
Steve and Paul: experience attending PETS.
Our president elect’s message is one of creating hope for the world, focus on need for mental health, and women as change makers. Keynote speech element about membership. His message, “Just ask, are you interested in Rotary?”
Paul’s takeaway is that our club is in a really good place; the amount of fundraising, and the inclusive nature of our club.
