Hola, Rotarians!

How many Rotarians does it take to connect a laptop to the projector?



Club President, Terry Engelken tries to move the meeting along a little during continued technical difficulties.


Don Patterson talks about his trip to Xicotepec, Mexico, and eventually shows his great slide show. Here are a few choice pics.

You can "like"the Rotary District 6000 joint project with Xicotepec Rotary Club in Mexico. There are currently 240 (up from 131 last summer) "likes." There are a lot of great pics and info on the ongoing project, going back to 2001!  https://www.facebook.com/xicoproj

If you'd like to look at a photo gallery that Rotarian Tom Narak collected from the team on a recent trip, check out this DropBox folder. If you find a picture you like, you can e-mail Tom and ask his for a copy.
