Prosper Rotary Club Meeting of 10/19/23

 

If you missed today’s meeting, we missed you too.

 

It was a very good day at our Rotary club. We have two new members as of today: Brandon Trainor and Otis Matthews. Both have visited before and chose to formally join us as of today. Please make a point to meet and welcome them at you earliest opportunity.

TODAY’S SPEAKERS
We were blessed to have three young men join us today and speak about a relevant project/venture of theirs. CIVICLY is an app they are developing that will facilitate the needs of volunteers (initially targeting students) by presenting and matching volunteer opportunities in the community. It’s a great concept, and the young men appear to have a great start on building a tool that will be of great value to volunteers and non-profit organizations in need of those volunteers. I’m sure we’ll hear more from James Kim, Kavish Muthum, and Jamie Obala in the near future.
