Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers.

This rare and significant visit will bring together local Rotarians and community members to hear insights from one of Rotary’s top leaders.
A visit from a Rotary International Director is one of the most important events for a local Rotary Club. These visits inspire members, provide updates on Rotary’s global goals and projects, and allow leaders to learn more about the unique service efforts of local clubs.

This is a true honor for our club, and we look forward to learning from her and sharing our work in the Milford community.”
Chris Etienne, who has been a dedicated Rotarian since 1990, is a member of the Rotary Club of Petoskey, Michigan. She has served in numerous leadership roles at the club, district, and international levels. Professionally, she is Associate Broker for Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty and Director of Leasing for the Village at Bay Harbor. A passionate advocate for Rotary’s global initiatives, Etienne has participated in National Immunization Days in India and Nigeria and has received Rotary Foundation honors including the Distinguished Service Award.
“I am excited to join the Rotary Club of Milford and learn more about their outstanding service to their community,” said Chris Etienne, Rotary International Director. “Clubs like Milford are the heart of Rotary. They bring people together to share their time, talents and treasure, create local impact, and connect to Rotary’s global mission. I look forward to sharing Rotary’s priorities and celebrating the difference Milford Rotarians are making.”
The luncheon will include a buffet and dessert, with tickets available for $40 before October 10, $45 after, and $55 at the door.
