ROTARY MINUTE
For the Rotary Minute, Cherri Ann gave a very powerful Rotary Minute.She referred to an article in the July Rotary Magazine about what you wear matters.So much of what we wear is wasted in its development and later.Much ends up in landfills, and producing the clothes and materials leads to 20 percent of water use in the World.Her message is to reuse clothes and other materials instead of always buying new ones.She had an apron she made out of old material.
Rotary anniversaries : Stay tuned.
