The Friendly Breakfast Club

​The value of Rotary Clubs

Roy Wise sent an interesting article from the Washington Examiner regarding people craving interaction and the role of volunteer organizations. gary Lane liked it, and suggested we run it in the Club Bulletin.

For those interested in an abridged version, here are the last two paragraphs from the article.
