Rotary Connection - the previous past President of the Sarasota Rotary Club reached out to Spence to help find lodging in Middlebury as they will be here for a wedding. Spence worked with John Z and he was able to help pull a few strings and help out this Rotarian. More information to come, but we would like to be welcoming if anyone is interested in hiking, going out to dinner/lunch, showing them around Middlebury, etc.
