Bright Spot
Heather Rossi 

Our Tootsie Roll Bright Spot on Thursday was our own Heather Rossi.
Rochester Rotarian Tim Cook submitted the nomination by becoming a Sustaining Member of the Rotary Foundation.

"Heather does a tremendous job with marketing materials, Spoke, events, and much more. I'm not sure most members even realize how much she does because much of it is behind the scenes. We are fortunate to have her on the staff."
