Gretchen and Scott lead great discussions at a gathering for new members and their spouses.  The discussions centered on:  "why Rotary", what motivates and energizes members, and operational things such as the history of Rotary, Rotary Districts and the upcoming International Convention.
 
It was a nice time to share thoughts, learn more and, most importantly, get to know one another in an informal and casual setting.
 
Thank you to those who attended, for a memorable and wonderful evening.
