PDG, David Del Monte, to recognize our very own Kris Chittur for his efforts in supporting the District's Rotary Friendship Exchange, this past year, with Rotarians from Turkey and PDG, Janet DiBenedetto, to urge our Club's participation in next Thursday's Joint Club Meeting in Pleasantville. The speaker, next Thursday will be Rob Raylman, The Executive Director of Gift of Life International.
