Effingham Noon Rotarians took time to recap what projects have been undertaken during the second quarter of the 2022-2023 Rotary year at their meeting November 30. The group also discussed table-to-table what projects should be pursued and what could be done to make Rotary an even better organization.

Service projects were discussed, as well as the planned post-pandemic resumption of the Rotary student exchange program. Under the program, high school students from other nations have the opportunity to come stay with local families for the length of the school year while local students can journey to other nations. The goal is increase understanding and awareness among people around the world.
