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. That article can be read in its entirety, which I would recommend, by following this link.

For those interested in an abridged version, here are the last two paragraphs from the article.
"Part of America’s greatness comes from our willingness to strengthen, foster, grow and promote our localities. Our exceptionalism has never come from politics, or government, a new impulse that neither educates our democracy nor restores our faith in each other, it might be time to redirect our energies and reflect on where to better utilize them.
You could start at your local Rotary Club."
