Robert Harris, Lauderdale County Commissioner and upcoming president of Halls-Gates Rotary Club spoke to the Ripley Rotary Club on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, about his plans for his upcoming year as president of Rotary in Halls. Mr. Harris spoke of the very low literacy rate in Lauderdale County as an opportunity for the Halls-Gates and Ripley Rotary Clubs to make an impact on that rate by joining forces to make a difference. He said more can be accomplished by our clubs putting their ideas and monetary resources together to show and provide support. Harris also spoke of his service as a Lauderdale County Commissioner and the accomplishments of the County Court during his tenure.
