SPEAKER:

Introduced by President Asad Khan, our former President and District Governor Larry Lohman gave an overview of The Rotary Foundation.  The Foundation’s theme is ”Doing Good in the World.”  Larry’s four programs in October focused on a number of ways that The Rotary Foundation works to help people across the world.  He also talked about a number of programs, including district-sponsored water projects.

Larry also reviewed ways to give and encouraged Kent Rotarians to continue to support Every Rotarian, Every Year.  We are paying it forward.
