LAST WEEK
LYNETTE SPANGENBERG
LYNETTE shared her compelling story starting with marching as a Pathfinder in a parade with her Troup Leader father then 3 years later she ends up in White Memorial Hospital in Riverside with a splint/cast. LYNETTE spent 5 years receiving treatments in Singapore while polio first affected her nerves, then the muscles which pull and push causing the feet to turn inward and ultimately the tendons and muscles give up. With every case detected, there were 200 undetected.
NEXT WEEK
We are delighted to have our own New Members KURT HEIDELBERG and DAVEBYERS share their stories with us. Often funny, inspiring, and motivational we always appreciate hearing about our fellow Rotarian members.

A craft talk may include a brief history of life and career, how and why they became a Rotarian, characteristics most needed for success in their business or profession, hobbies, and family life, and often include humorous stories.
