BETHEL — Members of our club had the pleasure of meeting and hearing from our new District Governor, Bob MacKenzie. Bob has been a member of the Kennebunkport Rotary Club, and he is also the Chief of Police. Due to his deeply personal and professional experiences, Bob started a program called Rotary Recovery Initiative, to educate Rotarians on the potential causes and treatment options for the thousands of individuals suffering from addiction and substance abuse. Bob has spoken to most of the clubs in our District (there are 39) in the hope of increasing awareness and for action to be taken in dealing with this devastating reality.
