The last couple of Pekin Rotary meetings have been entertaining, informative and educational. We heard from fellow long time Rotarian Jerry Tupper about his family trip to Great Britain to meet many of his family members, and to learn about their families history and contributions to the history of Great Britain and around the world. Something every family may want to consider.
Last week we heard from our city manager John Dossey who spoke about what a day in the life of a city manager is like. Invited to speak by Rotarian Mayor Mary Burress, we learned how his day starts very early before sunrise, and his efforts to manage and delegate all that pops up, related to city business during his day.
If you would like to be a part of a service club that impacts our lives here in Pekin Illinois, we invite you to reach out to any Rotarian or come to one of our lunch meetings on Wednesday at the Miller Center.
