Program
PE Betsy introduce our own Bonnie as the guest speaker. Bonnie talked about the Katrina Relief Missions to Waveland Mississippi in April 2006 and November 2006. Some members of the Vineland Rotary with some old and new friends traveled to the area to lend their time and hands wherever and however needed to help rebuild structures and lives. A visual presentation was shown highlighting the trip. The presentation also included some Rotarians sharing their experiences.
