This month we are featuring newly elected board member Harry Short. Harry believes that the world-wide reduction of malaria is practical and should be a major initiative of Rotary International. He has more than 15,000 volunteer hours helping families and children and still work with BSA and Habitat for Humanity and on many Rotary projects as a member of Seattle Rotary and an honorary member of an AZ Rotary club. His vocation was international manufacturing and corporate management.
