Member Spotlight – I would love for everyone to send me your high school and college mascots – I should have added that to the original request, however I didn’t think about it until someone suggested it. I thing it will be very important to know how many “Tigers” we have in our midst. I included this request last week and only three people in our club have responded. ?¯?¯?¯?¯?¯?¯?¯?¯ Rotary Facts
