Get ready for Paul Harris week!
 
Paul Harris week is a throwback to the foundations of Rotary when meetings rotated between members’ offices to facilitate fellowship.  The concept behind Paul Harris week is to celebrate our members’ vocations and provide an opportunity for members to deepen their relationships with each other.  Instead of meeting at the OCC, we meet at each other's homes, businesses or in the community.
