Linda Rough and Ryan Bunbury, accompanied by Jevon Powell, delivered the day’s song by Bill Withers, ‘Lean on Me’. Jaime Mendez provided the day’s inspiration, recognizing Rotarians who have ‘stepped up’ to invite at least one prospect to a meeting. It takes our actions to inspire hope. Anniversaries were recognized with another outstanding video produced by ED Caroline Bobanick, who will be leaving her position on August 31. A search committee has been formed to seek a new ED.
