The Lee Hollingsworth Interview with PDG Kirk Driscoll
Past District Governor Kirk Driscoll interviews our own Lee Hollingsworth on his new show.
Many of us know of PDG Kirk's tireless efforts to help people achieve better lives, particularly those affected by emotional and mental issues. From depression and anxiety to addiction and suicide, these affect us all. Kirk established the men's recovery residence, Vision Warriors, just over the county line in Canton.
This is a very frank discussion of critical issues, from actual life experiences, that in some way touch us all.
