DG Edmond Lanthier and his wife Suzie visited Potsdam on October 31. He brought this year's message from the RI president which focused on the topic "Rotary Shares." Lanthier reminded Rotarians of their need to share their knowledge and giving and to have fun doing it. Rotary shares with people around the world to provide hope and assistance. Rotary membership is critical for clubs to do local projects and to give back to communities. And, when Rotarians contribute to the Rotary Foundation ("Every Rotarian Every Year"), the Foundation gives back by sharing in the cost of local projects.

During his visit, Lanthier met with the club board to learn more about projects, fundraising, and membership goals. He pledged his assistance and the assistance of the District to continuing the growth of Rotary.
