Speaker- District Governor Kyong Wilson from the Bristol Club spoke to us today. She provided us a very witty presentation about herself and Rotary. DG Kyong did reflect that our President Nick is a good President (for now).
 
She declared that she has no prepared speech for us. Rather, she treated us to a rolling dialogue of her life experiences and interaction with Rotary.
 
Our DG did key in on “Who’s Life Can You Change?” She shared her experience on her first job at the bank, how it led to her involvement with Rotary. Speaking of her first Foundation Dinner, where she received a Paul Harris award, this truly opened her eyes to Rotary. A strong supporter of Interact and Rotaract, DG Kyong truly believes in supporting children, providing education for a better life and mentoring to share your gifts with others.
