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.
At our meetings, the Greeter will provide either the thought, a Rotary minute, share a family moment or a cultural tradition ... anything with which they would like to start off the day positive.
Upcoming "It's your Rotary moment" assignees:
Please provide a brief bio and photo to jimdelillo2@gmail.com prior to your assigned date.
Note: If you cannot act as an "It's your Rotary moment" assignee when scheduled, please arrange for your replacement.
