  • Laurie handed out 2013/2014 Rotarian pins to all members.  Please see Laurie for a pin
  • Shannon Tilly gave a report out on Lisbon, Portugal and the RI National Convention.  To sum it up, Shannon is INSPIRED.  She reported on a few of the meetings she attended, the power of Rotarian, and how close we are to eradicating polio (1.5 years - WOW).  I can't wait to see what Rotary tackles next
