District 5870 Foundation Gala Recap - What a beautiful evening with our Rotary family. Old friends. New friends. New connections. Shared stories. Shared purpose. Our recent District 5870 Foundation Gala was more than a celebration, it was a reminder of who we are when we come together around something bigger than ourselves. And this year, we had powerful evidence of that impact. View the photos.
