Rotary had stories coming from our Zones again this month:

This month’s Virtual Visit spotlights the Rotary Club of Logan, Ohio (D6690), whose annual community breakfast raises money for projects that support young people. Read “Ohio club serves up pancakes with potential.”

Just west of New Orleans, LA are thousands of acres of wetlands that provide an ideal habitat for alligators. And for nearly 50 years, the St. Charles Parish Rotary Club (D6840) has put on the annual Alligator Festival in honor of what is now Louisiana’s state reptile. A live exhibit overseen by expert gator handlers offers the opportunity to see the critters up close. Meanwhile, attendees can eat alligator prepared in numerous ways, from burgers to egg rolls. Visit from September 24th to 27th for the festival, which benefits local scholarships, and includes live music, carnival rides, and craft booths.
