Guest Speaker
Leon had the pleasure to introduce our guest speaker, John Capps.
John is a "Super Rotarian" from North Carolina, who reminded us tonight of why we all joined Rotary in the first place, what it means to be a Rotarian. He showed us

ROTARY, stands for:
Relationships (building strong bonds within)
Opportunity (Take advantage of it)
Today (today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow)
Attitude (Have the right one, speak up and just say Hello!)
Responsibility (What will be your legacy)
You (you are important and valuable)
