Rotary meeting July 12th
What do you get when Katie and Suzi take on leading roles.....an event and meeting to remember! The setup for the Avery Beach Farewell was organized well. The Huntsville Rotary Club steps up and accomplishes so much as a team, and great leaders produce great results! Suzi was so busy behind the scenes, there are no pictures of her.
