Rod will also present our program. It will be a good time to review all of the clubs accomplishments and areas where we can improve. Rod has done a terrific job as our President this Rotary year and will be a hard act to follow.

Rotary at Work
The Rotary Foundation has approved a grant of nearly $300,000.00 for equipment and other needs at a tuberculosis clinic underway in Reynosa, Mexico, along the U.S.-Mexican border.
TB is among the most deadly diseases for people with HIV because they have weakened immune systems. An airborne disease, it once was referred to as consumption because many believed it consumed people from within. About 75% of active cases are pulmonary TB, which attacks the lungs. But the disease can spread from the lungs to the central nervous system, lymphatic system and even the skin.
To learn more about this check out this month’s Rotarian magazine. Rotary helps so many people in so many ways our monthly magazine is a great way to review the impact we have around the world!
