Member News:
Dennis Cooper (“Has Been” Past District Governor) talked about the success of satellite clubs. We now have clubs in Russellville, Greenbrier, Lake Village, and interest meeting in Hot Springs Village and possibly one starting in Hope that is composed of a group of teachers. He also mentioned the Rotary Friendship Exchange and said to look for an email coming from him soon that will explain the program and survey any interest.
