Springfield Rotary - The Spokesman - Archive (Jul 6, 2007)

the Springfield Rotary Club sponsored at the June 23, 2007 RYLA Ropes Course and Leadership Training Day held at Springfield College. This District level program is intended to develop qualities of leadership, good citizenship, and personal development among students from many communities. This is a great opportunity to hear a first-hand report from the attendees who hopefully will forever recognize the name R-O-T-A-R-Y.

NEWEST MEMBER: A hearty welcome to our newest member presented June 29, 2007. We are glad to have you with us, Nicole.

NICOLE L. COYER, Classification: Real Estate, Mortgage Financing. Sponsored and Introduced by Catharine Guertin.
