  | At our recent monthly Rotary Club meeting, we had the honor of hosting several notable guests and discussing various important topics. Guest Speaker: Zahra, originally from Afghanistan and currently residing with fellow Rotarian Tara DuMont, shared her recent experiences living in the United States. She provided a poignant discussion on the struggles faced by Afghan women under repressive leadership in Afghanistan. |
 | Oratorical Presentations: We had the pleasure of witnessing two wonderful students from Penfield High School practice their oratorical presentations, showcasing their impressive speaking skills all while relating their topic back to the Rotary Four-Way Test: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? And Will it be beneficial to all concerned? |  |
| Special Presentation: A heartfelt presentation was made by Robert Green to honor the family of past Rotarian Don Milton. We were grateful to have Don’s family in attendance for this special recognition. As a special surprise Robert also presented Laurie Dietrich with a plaque honoring her dad, Bill Pethick, who was also instrumental with Camp Haccamo and Rotary for many many years. |  |
Rotary Foundation Update: Paul Marinucci provided an update on the Rotary Foundation and reported the excellent news that we achieved 100% participation in giving.
Upcoming Service Project: Tara discussed our upcoming service project, detailing the plans at Nucor House (stay tuned) and encouraging members to participate actively.
Overall, wow, it was a meeting filled with meaningful discussions, heartfelt moments, and inspiring presentations. We look forward to continuing our efforts and making a positive impact in our community.
