Rotarian Spotlight: Mark Franz
ROTARY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT IS HERE!
Each month we will feature one of the many Glen Ellyn Rotary members that make such a difference in our communities. These are people that fill many roles in their day to day lives and apply Rotary values in everything they do. This month’s member is Mark Franz. Mark always has a positive attitude and a friendly smile to share. We are grateful for Mark’s service both professionally as the Glen Ellyn Village Manager and personally in his commitment to Rotary.
