We have another new Clayton Rotary Out and About photo! When members are out and about, not at a Club-attended or sponsored function where they would expect to see another Rotarian, and they randomly run into another Rotarian, whether from our Club or not, they are to take a selfie with that person and submit it, along with the details of the encounter. We are doing this to showcase the fun our Rotarians have and how easily we run into another Rotarian. We often hear about these encounters at our meetings, but don't see the proof. As the saying goes, "Pics or it didn't happen."
Club member Michael Theo submitted our 137th Out and About photo. Today, August 04, 2026, Michael went to Jones Cafe in Downtown Clayton to grab some lunch and ran into Club member Lyle Sheppard, who had the same idea, so they decided to have lunch together.
