Big Banner Back!
The Big Banner has returned. Apparently it was amongst some "hot items" in the collection of a person who is not a Rotarian and whose possession of such may constitute a breach of The Four Way Test.
However, the important thing is that we have it......and to keep it safe, it will remain rolled up in a dark place!
