November is Rotary Foundation month and all of our speakers this month will talk about how Rotary Foundation funds are making an impact not only locally but throughout the world.  This Friday, Leslie Mattingly will speak to our club.  A strong Rotarian of several decades, Leslie worked hard to mobilize an "army" of 250 skilled, experienced PLN staff members, together with Rotary to develop a large and successful sustainable agriculture program.  Funded by a Rotary Global Grant, with support thus far exceeding $400,000, they're supporting an island-wide program of economic development through sustainable agro-ecology.  The program trains farmers and creates an entire economy chain for fresh produce and food across Puerto Rico. The project is now in Phase 2 and Leslie will be giving us a detailed overview. 

 

As a reminder, if you have not turned in your Thanksgiving Cards, please do so immediately!  The cards will be delivered to Senior Citizens Inc after the meeting.
