Our speaker this week will be Lake Chelan Rotarian Rod Brooks. The mission of The Grandpa Project's mission is to help men consider the value they bring to their grandchildren's lives and to enable children to experience a loving relationship with their grandpa, due to the belief that every child deserves to know, learn from, and be loved by their grandpa.
