Speakers

With Stan's recent election to the University Place City Council, it seemed like a great time to have a classification talk. He'll talk a little about his personal history as well as what he is focusing on these days. Come to learn more about one of our own members!

This event is being included in the speaker list for maximum visibility to club members. Our annual club holiday party will be December 12th at Fircrest Golf Club at 5:30 pm. RSVP to Mary Koumantaros as soon as possible. Make checks out to Tacoma Narrows Rotary.

Joe Le Roy, President and CEO of Hope Sparks (http://hopesparks.org) will join us to talk about his organization. Here's a little about Hope Sparks from their website:
