October 18, 2011

Putnam's Mary Keely was District Governor for 28 Rotary Clubs in southern West Virginia (RI District 7550) last year.

The job represented many hours of travel and numerous contacts with Rotarians in other clubs.

Visiting Rotarians often exchange local club banners with club members from other areas, and Keely presented some of these souvenirs to the Putnam club today.

The banners represented banners from Barboursville, Ceredo-Kenova, Kimball and Oak Hill in southern West Virginia. A club in eastern Missouri and California were represented in the collection, as well as at least two foreign countries.

Keely at other local meetings has displayed pins and other memorabilia form her Rotary travels which represent over 168 countries.
