Our speaker was Don Reese, CNY's Rotary Foundation chair. He spoke about the "Power of One" sparking positive change through Rotary, including through its global grants. He cited one such grant he was involved with, providing US donations of new and used turnout gear for the use of volunteer firefighters in Chile.
