Speaker: Larry Jones, our District Governor spoke to the Club about his goals and plans for the upcoming year with emphasis on innovative approaches to attract new members – he also discussed the much more flexible membership rules – primarily being an upstanding member of the community and a willingness to help.
Larry also presented a check to Kevin O’Brien and David Bogue for $250 to our Foundation in thanks for our contribution of the Food Trailer at District Crossover Event.
