Great Meeting Speakers

Our Rotary Club was privileged to have two great speakers on November 16, 2016.
Linda Petrie, mother of Amanda Petrie gave a great talk on how she appreciated
the scholarships her daughter received from the Rotary Club. Amanda got a
scholarship in 2013 for $1,000. In 2016 she received a district grant & club funds
totaling $5,500. She is graduating from USF in December, 2016 with a 4.0 average
and has applied at several colleges to continue her studies in the medical field.
Amanda’s grandmother also attended the meeting.

Our second speaker was Linda McCone, a competent communicator. She is
a member of a the Unity/Dunnellon Toastmasters. Public speaking is important
for Rotarians to spread the word about Rotary and function as a leader in their
club on committees and as officers. She gave us information on how improving
public speaking skills can help us in Rotary and our professions. Several members
have taken public speaking training and understand how important it is for
everyone. Linda told us about Toastmasters and how it would help us as to be
better Rotarians. Roger, Linda and Geri are in the picture below.
