Windham to visit Rotary clubs across state on duties
Windham, newly named District Governor, outlines plans to visit all Rotary clubs by Thanksgiving. He will meet officers before addressing each club, focusing on Rotary’s four avenues of service. He recently returned from Melbourne where Rotary International held its annual convention attended by about 22 000 Rotarians. Windham joined Aiken Rotary in 1963 and will start official visits July 12 with the Aiken Rotary Club, joined by his wife Kitty on some trips. Audrey Ward and Ron Wheeler previously held the district post. Donald Skinner will be district secretary and Leonard Quattlebaum treasurer.
