Yesterday's Portage Rotary Club luncheon in Portage la Prairie was highlighted with a presentation of the wealth of internet information resources at its disposal. District governor nominee Elaine Thompson says she informed the club about various project ideas they can access.

"I outlined how Rotarians can get more information and why it's helpful to them from the websites that Rotary International and Rotary District 5550 have online," explains Thompson. "And the amount of information that's there is amazing -- helpful information."

She says their site outlines various projects from which they can get ideas. Thompson notes the local club has many of its own ideas, but it's sometimes helpful to see what other projects are taking place around the world. She adds Rotary was the first service club of its kind in the world, and there's an impressive wealth of resources from which members can draw.
