The Chelsea Rotary Club will host a visit from Rotary District Governor Barry Fraser on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 12:15 p.m. at the Common Grill.
Fraser presides over District 6380 which includes Rotary Clubs in Michigan — including the Chelsea Club — and Ontario, Canada.
As District Governor, he leads district clubs in three strategic priorities: to support and strengthen clubs, to focus and increase humanitarian service, and to enhance public image and awareness.
Fraser is a member of the Rotary Club of Chatham, Ontario. He has a long and varied history with Rotary and has a passion for Rotary International’s Areas of Focus of ‘Water and Sanitation’ and ‘Economic and Community Development.’ As a Rotarian, he helped plant trees on school properties and led the construction of walking trails. He participated in National Immunization Days and Artificial Limb Camps for Polio in India.
He is a recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal and and is inducted into the Chatham-Kent Agricultural Institute of Canada. With his credentials, experience, and interests, a lively and captivating discussion is sure to be on the agenda for the day’s meeting.
If you’ve ever been curious about Rotary, this is the meeting to attend.
