President Nancy's Message
**Thank You to Dr. McLaughlin for an Inspiring Talk on Breast Cancer Awareness** This month, we had the privilege of hearing from Dr. McLaughlin, a leading voice in breast cancer research and care, who shared valuable insights into advancements in treatment and early detection. Dr. McLaughlin’s talk was not only informative but deeply moving, highlighting the importance of support and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our club also took a moment to honor the strength and resilience of breast cancer survivors within our community. We extend our heartfelt respect to all those who have faced this journey, as well as to our fellow Rotarians whose loved ones have been impacted. Your courage serves as a source of hope and inspiration to us all. Together, we continue to stand united, raising awareness and support for those affected by breast cancer. **Get Spooky at Our Halloween Meeting!** Join us for a hauntingly fun meeting as we celebrate Halloween Rotary-style!
