MEMBER HIGHLIGHTS
JUST A THOUGHT
Editor's reflections over Easter.
MYSTERY LANGUAGE of ROTARY ACRONYMS
Back in February 2018, Editor showed a list of Rotary Acronyms as she could not interpret all the abbreviations that Rotary takes for granted. Like learning another language. For our newer members and those like me who forget, you can see for yourself.
