Classification talks are an essential part of Rotary.  Classification Talks are the best way to get to know the member's life story, occupation, and passion for serving others.   Learn more about new member, Troy Fitzgerald.  
Last week's Recap:
Chelan-Douglas Port Authority
With Jim Kuntz, Executive Director, CDRPA
 

Following an informative introduction by his good friend PP Pete VanWell, Jim used a fast-moving comprehensive PowerPoint to present an overview of all of the exciting developments in the Wenatchee Valley, especially with regard to historic levels of investment, as summarized in the chart below by county.

Mention was also made of a potential major regional sports complex being studied for presentation to voters next year.

The zoom recording offers a wealth of commentary and insight by Director Kuntz.  Two of Jim's images about CDRPA are shown below.
