During Monday's meeting, Club members enjoyed a visit from Halil Posaci of the Efes Rotary Club in Izmir, Turkey (District #2440) and his son Eren, who is performing an internship with Cummins through mid-December and is an engineering student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Halil, an industrial engineer, exchanged Rotary banners with Club president Mike Moots. The banner exchange is one of Rotary's more colorful traditions, as Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take along banners that can be exchanged when they visit other clubs. Each banner is colorful, unique, expresses the community and country of which the Club is a part, and tells a story of community pride. Exchanging Club banners is a longstanding custom that offers Rotarians the world over a tangible symbol of international fellowship. Pictured above, from left, are Halil Posaci and Mike Moots.
