Princess Anne Rotary Club Welcomes New Officers and New Members
Rotary Club of Princess Anne at Town Center held a banquet recently for the installation of its 2014-2015 slate of new officers.
Many Rotary Clubs have programs in place to allow younger professionals to join the club as honorary members for six months through the Future Leaders Program, after which time they have the opportunity to be inducted as full members if they choose. The Shopper Director of Sports Information Heather Ireland is excited to utilize this opportunity through the Princess Anne Rotary Club and was recently inducted as an Honorary Member.
