The Effingham Sunrise Rotary Club welcomed District Governor Deb West, who shared her incredible story of recovering from a stroke and overcoming the many challenges that came with it. Her story was a powerful reminder of resilience, perseverance, and the lasting impact each of us can make in the lives of others.
Deb also talked about what makes Rotary so special — our ability to adapt, evolve, and continue finding new ways to serve our communities. Because while the way we serve may change, the heart behind it never does.
