Installation Banquet Highlights

 
Assistant Governor Doug Browning was the featured speaker at the J une 20 installation banquet in the Bridgeview Room at Shugrue's.  He encouraged club members to go into the big tent of Rotary instead of just enjoying the side shows enjoyed by Rotarians in their local club activities.  As exciting as the side shows are, you haven't really enjoyed the circus until you experience the excitement of all the actiivities in the big tent!  Investing your time, talent and heart in International and District projects is where we learn what it is to go from being a club member to knowing what it is to be a committed Rotarian - wanting to make a difference in the world.
