A four person delegation of Fonthill Rotarians toured I-CAN-T.E.R. Farm today so see the new mower and learn more about the organization's activities and plans.  Representing the Club were District 7090 Governor Frank Adamson, President Hugh Graham and two former Presidents, Mel Groom and Annie Holtby.
