Keith Peers then spoke about his passion for ending Human trafficing. He would like to see a Rotary facility in Cambridge to house and treat victims. He and others in RAGAS (rotary organization to help victims of trafficing) will be meeting in Calgary and erecting a Rotary Peace Pole. There will be no regular meetings at the club for the next two weeks. I missed the rest. Todd told a joke about childbirth. It was funny, not as bad as it sounds. |
