February 6, 2025 The Magic of Rotary!
We’re trying to improve Zoom presentation!
- If you are attending via Zoom, during the mealtime go into the Breakout Room and you will still be able to converse with others on Zoom. When meal is over, come back to the main room.
- If you have a speaker who wants to present a Power Point or other screen, please have the material sent to PAUL KEELY 24 hours ahead of the meeting. He will then have the presentation ready to share
Reminder: check out our Facebook page for pictures! They’re fabulous. Thanks, Bill!!!

You will need the password to access the Members section. If you did not get it, please ask John, Sujan, or Robin.
