Community Concerns

Thirteen days until Christmas.
The benevolent dictatorship of President Tom George (PTG) continued today as PTG gazed out over his minions and expertly rang the bell announcing that the gathering of Lakewood Rotarians for their weekly meeting was to commence.
All in attendance dutifully rose to their feet to listen to Barlow Buescher invoke us and Dave Swindale lead us in the pledge.
PTG shared with us the following:
“At Lakewood Rotary, we believe strong communities begin with healthy families. When we help prevent disease, we are not only saving lives — we are strengthening the very foundation of Lakewood, Pierce County, and communities around the world. Service becomes healing when done with compassion.”
“Healthy communities don’t happen by chance — they happen because people choose to care.”
