Did you know that Rotarians have almost eradicated Polio internationally? Did you know that Akron Rotary is composed mainly of local business and philanthropic leaders? Of course you do, but most people in our area do not, which is why Bill Manby, Jr., Kevin McGee and Mark Krohn attended the United Way’s Project Blueprint Agency Fair on Thursday, March 23, where seventeen of our area’s best and brightest young minds were interviewing area not-for-profits to find worthy places to lend their talents (and a hand).

Agencies like the Red Cross, Community Support Services and Summit DD were present (all of which we have members from or very close ties with) and Mark and Bill felt honored to be among such great groups of people. Mark and Bill spoke to almost half the graduating class about the awesome benefits of Rotary and plan on following up as to possible membership and volunteer involvement opportunities.   A very special thanks to our membership committee for allowing our club to try something new. Based upon the feedback we received from all who attended and interviewed, this will not be the last stop on the tour.
