On Tuesday evening, Michele Crespo, our member, along with her life partner Melissa, hosted our monthly fellowship meeting at her Roller Skating Shop. She shared her remarkable journey from playing varsity volleyball at a Michigan college, to becoming a stepmom at 25 to three young nephews, to running a beauty parlor, and finally to coaching roller skating and managing sales. Afterwards, we gathered at her lovely adjacent home where she showcased her cooking talents. We discussed the challenges she faces in her business and explored ways Rotary members could support her ongoing development. These member-hosted gatherings provide exceptional opportunities to deepen our understanding of one another and our families. Rotary embodies fellowship and service, and we must dedicate efforts to both.
