Last weeks meeting
Elena introduced the Philippine Friendship Exchange visitors. Rotary Club flags were exchanged, and photos taken. A wonderful and friendly group!
Belinda introduced our speaker - Florence Yau. Florence is the Executive Director of the Richmond Women's Resource Center. Florence had been scheduled to speak to our club that week in the winter that breakfast was moved because the power was out at the RCC. Florence described the services provided from her organization. They are open to all women. They provide education and training in languages, computers, as well as offering a 3 month work-readiness program.
