Assistant District Governor Corey Dunbar also attended the meeting. The District Governor encouraged our club to work toward earning presidential citation. To receive this citation the club must complete goals that align with Rotary's strategic priorities: to support and strengthen clubs, focus and increase humanitarian service, and enhance Rotary's public image and awareness. Kathie presented Mr. Brian Bubrig with his Paul Harris award at the meeting. As a token of appreciation for Kathie's work as District Governor our club presented her with some gifts that are unique to Plaquemines.
