President's Message
Dawn Knowles
Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
What an interesting program we had last week! Tim Flynn gave a fantastic presentation on his experiences and lesson learned during his time in Germany. He was awarded the Rotary International Graduate Fellowship and went to Bonn, Germany. He was there before the wall came down and has a great perspective on Rotary and on humankind.
This week we are taking a field trip and touring the Casitas Dam. Thank you again to Jim Word for setting this up for us. I can’t wait!
In service,
Dawn Knowles
President 2024-2025
