President Joe (coach) welcoming everyone
Today's special meeting was held at Camp Rotary. What a treat it was to be hosted and entertained by a hundred wildly enthusiastic campers! Campers led a Rotarian to each of the tables where we enjoyed a fine lunch and entertaining chants, songs and conversation by the campers.
