The Rotary Club of Warren met March 14 for its weekly meeting at First United Methodist Church. The group heard from Warren Junior Rotarian Tessa Andrus who came to speak today in place of Natalie Cooper who was attending a conference.
After Andrus, Rotarian Dr. Bob Smalling introduced his program of fellow Rotarian Dana Harvey. Harvey spoke about her career and the impact her mother had on her life. Shen then went on to read an essay about her mother she submitted to SouthArk’s Between the Lines back in 2019 titled “My Mom’s Secret.” Her mom’s secret was that she was a superhero to Harvey. She spoke about surviving the 1975 tornado and the actions her mom took during that event and the aftermath. Harvey went on to also explain her mom surviving a serious burn several years ago and all the hard work it took for her to come back from that to be able to talk again. She concluded her program by talking about counting your blessing and not your sorrows and took a few questions from the group.
