Rotary News - Week of October 25, 2016


Rotarian, Robin Kuleck, spoke at the October 25th luncheon meeting about her experiences canal boating in England. 

 Canals are a major part of the network of inland waterways in the United Kingdom. They first saw use during the Roman occupation of the south of Great Britain and were used for irrigation, but as the demand for industrial transport increased during the Industrial Revolution, the canals were used to deliver manufactured goods and supplies. In the mid-19th century, railways began to replace the canals and there was a rise in interest to use the canals for leisure use. There are now about 2,200 miles of navigable canals and rivers throughout the United Kingdom that are used by locals and tourists.

 Also attending the meeting was Christy Solveson, guest of Rotarian, Kim Whiting.
