Speaker Responsibility Reminder – Let’s Share the Load!
Each member of the Franklin Rotary Club is responsible for securing a speaker for one meeting during the Rotary year. If you're unable to bring in an outside speaker, no problem — you can use your assigned week to share something about yourself! Whether it’s a hobby, a personal story, a unique skill, or a cause you care about, it’s a great chance for the club to get to know you better.

Let’s work together to keep our weekly programs engaging without putting the burden on just a few. Everyone takes one — simple as that!

Come to the Franklin Animal Clinic for a session of Pet First Aid Training. Learn how to better take care of your pets at home with the experience of education from a trained veterinarian staff. Minimum donation $15 for the 2 hour session, all proceeds from the program will go directly the Franklin Rotary Club Dog Park Project. Register today, limited space available.

Please make every effort to attend the August 26th regular meeting ,as it will be our official visit from our District Governor, Aaron Sines.
