Our Guest Speakers

Are The Greatest

 


 

In an article which appeared in The Rotarian monthly magazine (July 1994) entitled "The Thinking Rotarian's Guide To Handling Guest Speakers"  author C. J. Matthiessen, a member of the Rotary Club of Monticello, said that "one of the keystones of any Rotary meeting is the presentation by a speaker selected by the club's program chair or by an individual member."  The quality of the weekly programs helps ensure a Club's vitality.  Christiana Rotary's guest speakers are among the best anywhere. The Calendar page of this website lists our future speakers and the dates when these speakers are scheduled to visit our Club. 

 

Listed below are some of the speakers we have had in the past.  We thank  each of these individuals for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit with us.  If you are the program chair of a Rotary Club located in District 7630, and you wish to obtain information about any of our guest speakers, contact our  program director.
