Former Rotary District Governor Clare Lillis was our guest speaker today. He was accompanied by his wife Kathy. Clare has been very involved in Rotary's efforts to end human trafficking and gave an update on the work of "Renew Hope" and other organizations that are providing support for victims who have been trafficked. Unfortunately this continues to be a thriving $150 billion industry in this country. Equally unfortunate is the fact that the state of Minnesota continues to be the third largest state in the country in terms of trafficking activity. "Renew Hope" focuses on two critical avenues for impact: Education & Awareness and Survivor Life Recovery Services. Stephanie Cosgrove has been leading our club's efforts in this area. It has been difficult to get educational efforts into our schools, given all the demands on their time and resources, but we are currently working with students through Quincy House whom we have supported in other ways as well.
