Our speaker this week is dedicated to rescuing marginalized and abused young Pakistani women whose families disown them through no fault of their own.  He is a Doctor in Linquistics, speaks several languages, and is a leader in the Church in Pakistan.  His full name remains confidential here on this site for his protection, so come for lunch Thursday to learn his full name and hear his incredible story.

At Rotary, "Fireside" brings us back to our roots.  A Fireside, like a campfire, attracts people to just sit, share laughs and trade stories.  Firesides help build FRIENDSHIPS, the essential clay teams use to sculpt our ROTARY dreams.
