What’s the next transformational goal that will inspire 1.2 million Rotarians to once again change the world?  Malaria, “the biggest scourge on the planet,” is frequently mentioned.  Corinne Cavanaugh and Jeff Pritchard (former Tacoma #8 member) are Board members of Rotarian Malaria Partners, a nonprofit formed by Rotarians.  They’ll share the background, vision and goal of igniting Rotary International to end malaria.
