RI Past President Barry Rassin Speaks to Lake Spivey-Clayton County via Zoom

During the current COVID-19 quarantine, many clubs in the district are conducting their regular meetings using the popular software program, Zoom. The Rotary Club of Lake Spivey/Clayton County jumped on this early, and Program coordinators Gina McCombs and Claudia Mertl quickly recognized that meeting via Zoom not only addressed the quarantine limitations but also removed geographical limits on who could be invited to present programs at the meetings. As a result, the Club has enjoyed several speakers from well beyond Jonesboro, Georgia.

The club's most recent speaker - Past Rotary International President Barry Rassin - greeted the club from the Bahamas. While providing members ample time for serious individual questions about Rotary, President Barry also used his presentation to take the Club on a light-hearted virtual tour of several countries that he and his spouse, Esther, visited during his 2018-2019 term as RI President. Captured in the adjacent photograph are the attentive faces of several of our club members and guests as "Tour Guide Barry" and Esther took the quarantined Rotarians to visit colleagues in many of the 60 countries they visited for real during his term as President of Rotary International.
