Last Week

 

Our speaker was Darren LaShelle, Director of TV Broadcast Services for WGTE Public Media.  He is responsible for the scheduling and production of the TV programming.  WGTE is an educational institution that reaches the public through TV, radio, and web outreach to children K-12 and preschoolers.  TV 30 has children programming though the day, how to shows early afternoon and news in the evening.  They produce programs for the 'Toledo Stories', which air Thursday's at 8:00p.m.

 

A fellow Rotarian from Nigeria joined us for lunch last week.  His name was Shoyinka Lanre. His classification was Medicine Surgery.  The home club is 09110.  He also brought two guests with him.  They were Thomas Osinowo MD and Kemnde Ayegoro.
