Last week, Dean Settle introduced our newest member Leslie Huerta. Leslie is the owner of Franchie & Finch Bookshop in downtown Lincoln. Keith Larsen described Leslie as vibrant, helpful, visionary, and engaged. These are qualities of a perfect Rotarian! Dean Settle described Leslie as a strong business leader in downtown Lincoln. For two years, Leslie was intrigued watching people streaming into the US bank building every Tuesday before noon  and these people would come out after 1:00 PM, looking all inspired. Dean Settle and Keith Larsen invited her to a few meetings and she was impressed with what she was hearing that we do to the community. Right after her approval for membership, she volunteered right away as Host Rotarian during our recent Business Networking Day. Please say hello and welcome Leslie to Rotary when you see her at our Tuesday meeting or when you see her at her bookshop.
