Last week we had a good turnout in support of our guest speaker, Hal Rifken, a film producer. Hal is a fellow Rotarian from Palisades NJ and is a former Peace Corp Volunteer in Bolivia. He joined Rotary because of the similarity in service to others that both organizations promote. Mr. Rifken shared two short films that he produced, one of them was focused on promoting Rotary. He shared that he is concerned that many have no idea of the value that Rotary brings to the world, and through this medium of film he hopes to change this.
This Friday our speaker is Rev Todd Farnsworth, from the Briarcliff Congregational Church. He will share about the current activities of this church in the community and beyond. I hear he is a very good speaker! As most of you know, this is the church that Rachael Leihbacher’s Father was pastor of for many years. Please come and support Rev. Farnswoth and if you can, please bring a friend. I promise he will not pass the plate! J
Also please bring your ads for the Journal for our upcoming fundraising. Eric is taking responsibility to get this journal completed in time for our event on Nov. 2nd. Thank you Eric for all your hard work each year in getting this produced.
