Our fellow member Stella Roy, District Governor Elect and Chair of the International Committee, provided an update on what the International Committee has been working on this past year. On another note, Stella just returned from a trip to Nigeria to administer Polio vaccines, that story is to come at a later date!
Thanks to the Rotary Foundation, when a club donates funds to a qualifying recipient/organization, the funds can be matched by the District as well as Rotary International, therefore original donations are often tripled!

| Logan McGillivary CD Peace | $100 |
| Sierra Leone Teacher | $1000 |
