SUNRISE SPEAKER ANDRA WATKINS TWICE ROTARIAN OF THE YEAR

Immediate past president of the Rotary Club of East Cooper Breakfast (near Charleston, SC) and twice named Rotarian of the Year by her district, Andra Watkins has recently walked 444 miles on the Natchez Trace to celebrate the release of her novel and deepen her appreciation of Lewis' situation. Few people know that Lewis died of two gunshot wounds on Oct. 11, 1809. Few people know that the Natchez Trace is an ancient trail between Natchez MS and Nashville TN. But Watkins has revived interest through her "genre-bending" novel, "To Live Forever: An Afterlife Journey of Meriweather Lews." Come to breakfast on Tuesday, Sept. 9,7:30 a.m. at the Colonial Inn to meet this enthusiastic Rotarian and business woman.
