The speaker committee needs your ideas for presentations or speakers, so please send them to him for exciting programs.  
We are about to start a new year for Rotary. We are always looking for speakers. There are no set rules for the speakers, and we welcome diverse people. If you have anyone in mind, please contact me via e-mail, and we will work to invite them to a meeting.
