We are being followed
Thought that might grab your attention. When I got back from Rotary today, I found that a fellow Rotarian from Indianapolis had been watching our club meeting online. Woody Collins who is a self described humanitarian is committed to ending poverty. He was particularly interested in today's presentation by Pere Garlinghouse.
Woody is just one of many Rotarians who are following us through the world of cyberspace. I think it is pretty exciting how the internet is connecting all of us through our common mission of helping the world's less advantaged.
