Over 50 Rotarians and guests were in attendance.  Sign up is now underway for July 4 parade marshals, the Dublin Slider Challenge (July 9), and the Dublin Irish Festival beverage inventory control (August 5-7).  

John Koon was our guest speaker who gave us an update on his work with La VIA Orphanage in Moldova .  Dublin AM is a sponsor supporting the health and hygiene program that impacted about 40 children this past school year.  This is a very comprehensive program that includes daily hygiene attention, nutrition, vitamins, lessons, clothes washing, wound care, lice, and medical treatment.  John also shared stories of those who are supported through La VIA and the transition to a new building that will ensure more have access to healthy meals, showers, classrooms, and a nurse’s office.  Additionally, efforts continue to develop a mentorship program for those who complete the 9th grade (which is the typical end of formal education for many).
