Episode 2: The Story of Women in Rotary

What this episode covers

In this episode, we’re exploring an unflattering piece of Rotary history: That’s the opening of Rotary clubs to women in 1987. We’re talking to Rotarians Mary Quass and Donna Sorensen, who were among the first women to join Downtown Rotary. We’re also chatting with Rotarians Mary Klinger and Brooke Fitzgerald about the trails those women blazed, and what it means to be a woman in Rotary today.
