Rotary Minute

Jeff P. updated us regarding Hank. He had another surgery Monday to correct a blockage in his stomach.

The 11th Annual Ambassador of Peace Award Event will be held on Thursday 10/25. The keynote speaker will be Reverend Leon Kelly, gang prevention veteran.

The Center’s mission is to reduce levels of physical, emotional and verbal violence, by teaching and applying skills to help people in a diverse community manage their everyday conflicts nonviolently.
