My Rotary Info

How long have you been in Rotary? Estimate if you do not know exact dates.

Honorary Member - Evergreen Rotary Club

What other Rotary involvement have you had? (Exchange, Friendship exchange, GSE, etc.)
I had the privilege of speaking at the Rotary Zone 21b-27 Institute in Albequerque in September of 2010.

eClub works for me because...
I am excited to join the eClub of the Southwest because I have heard from many people that it is simply the best eClub around, and that the global community it fosters is second to none. Additionally, my interest in youth leadership around the world, my passion for global community and fellowship, and my international travel schedule make the eClub a perfect way to get involved with Rotary!
