Leslie Bjork of the Elizabeth Layton Center was the virtual guest speaker during the Oct. 22 meeting of the Paola Rotary Club. Emily had the program that week, and she borrowed projection equipment from the Paola Free Li- brary. Purchasing projection equipment (projector, screen, stand) for Paola Rotary presenters has been brought up by multiple club members, and it may be time for the board to once again consider making that investment.
