In other news, we are delighted to announce that our fifth Thursday social meeting with the Rotary Club will be held on September 7, 2023. Following the timely departure of Hurricane Idalia, we have the perfect opportunity to come together for this joint meeting. We are honored to host Dick Rotardraffone, president of Collier-Lee Honor Flights for veterans, as our keynote speaker. Prepare to be moved by his heartwarming presentation, complete with captivating photos and videos that provide an insight into the profound impact of Honor Flights. Furthermore, we will be privileged to hear from Julius, our esteemed Rotary exchange student from Germany, who will showcase his fascinating life through an engaging slide show. To encourage interaction between our two clubs, we will also indulge in a friendly game of “getting to know you bingo,” with a fantastic prize awaiting the lucky winner.
