What a cool experience to meet with our Rotary International President, Stephanie Urchick at this past weeks Tuesday Pirates game. District 7305 hosted a fantastic tailgate party catered by PDG John Marshall Catering. We got to see lots of fellow members from many different districts and enjoy the game after RIP Stephanie threw out the first pitch (under hand)! It was a great opportunity, and we all enjoyed a great time!
