roadside clean-up success
A big thank you to all those who showed up for highway clean-up last Saturday - donning those fancy orange or green vests is always great exposure for the Club and a good time for fellowship!
He, along with two other Rotary Exchange Students have already jumped in feet first to the Alaska life with a hike at Thunderbird Falls.
Be sure to join us at our August Fireside with the Tebows for a chance to meet and get to know Arnaud!
