                                                                         SUMMARY OF TALK
We all joined Rotary for Service Above Self.  The second reason for Rotary's development is networking, which is OK.  Rotary consists of a cross section of the community. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others. Membership in Rotary continues one's growth and education in human relations.

Next FRIDAY (tomorrow) AT THE BRIAR'S our speaker will be Illia Regina on Heal Through Food.
