  1. There is a Rotarian in Columbia, MO who is a big advocate for Georgia and shares her wine with us! We also did a big collection last fall and sent hundreds of books over for use in teaching English!

  2. Hi Carla - Wow, I see the story here: http://www.lakenewsonline.com/archive/x802008528/Missouri-Rotaries-raise-funds-for-member-in-Republic-of-Georgia.

    I didn't know Kutaisi, Georgia, was Columbia's sister city. I love hearing about the books going over to Georgia. Rotary Clubs do such good work.
