Western Douglas County held an event - "Get to Know Rotary" on February 2, 2023.
An invitation letter (Click here) was mailed to community members, friends and former guests. They had 13 answer the invitation. All guests and members shared a little of their background information. It was interesting to find how many guests were already friends. We feel that we will gain 7 or 8 members from this group.
Attached are the power point slides that we used for our presentation (Click here).
