Our discussion was conducted via conference bridge to adhere to the \u2018social distancing\u2019 requirements of this pandemic period.\n\nDan Gentile is Co-Treasurer and Foundation Chair for the Franklin chapter of Rotary. Bill has had several titles over his years of service and is now a regular and active member.\n\nWe talk about the Franklin Interact Club, the nature of the Rotary itself as a service organization (service above self) and some examples of what they have done over the years. Some of the visible marks they have made are the annual Memorial Day parade, the benches in the Town Common, and the bronze plaques on the light poles along the Common walkways to name just a few.\n\nThe recording runs about 22 minutes, so let\u2019s listen to my conversation with Dan and Bill and find out more about what the Rotary does for Franklin.\n\n--------------\n\nFranklin Rotary Club page http://www.clubrunner.ca/portal/Home.aspx?accountid=3689 \n\nFranklin Interact Club page https://franklinmainteract.weebly.com/ \n\nFranklin Interact interview https://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/08/franklin-interact-delivers-100-masks-to.html \n\n--------------\n\nWe are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm) or 102.9 on the Franklin area radio dial. \n\nThis podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone.
