Speaker Information

Contact Information for SpeakerSeveral Rotarians who heard the presentation by SergeantKen Carona of the Port Arthur Police Department onDecember 9 have inquired about how to contact him toarrange for another group to hear his message. Hispresentation on how to deal with an active shooter situationwas certainly one that needs to be repeated at all possibleopportunities.
