Also, this weekend was our Rotary District’sTraining Seminar. We are apart of Rotary District 6970. Rotaractors from the district assembled to create a district Rotaract website under the guidance of Rotary District Rotaract Chair, Kelly Altosino-Sastre. Be on the look out for the website: www.rotaract6970.org. We heard an inspiring speech from the keynote speaker Ramesh Ferris, a Rotarian and polio survivor, about Rotary’s End Polio Now Campaign.
