    introduced by Kevin Reneau. Fred is
    a member of Berkeley Rotary and is

    bragging sheeet to the conference.
    He reviewed some of our favorite
    projects that came up in an earlier
    discussion with our board.
    Fred went on to discuss youth
    programs and the desire of young
    people to do side-by-side work with
    Rotary Clubs. Students want to learn
    about Rotary and the work that we do
    both locally and internationally. They
    want to be mentored to help them
    make career and life choices. They
    also want Rotarians to approach their
    parents and family about getting
    involved in Rotary as well.
