Art lover? History lover? Zoom to Port Orford this Thursday, January 25th at 12:30 pm Pacific to learn more about ancient art in Eastern Europe. Rotarian Dacian Coita will join us from Oradea, Romania.

From Port Orford Rotary Club President Larry Skeele’s invitation: As a former commercial banker and present small business and project finance consultant, Dacian has been involved with Rotary for decades, including Rotary International funded global grants boosting small businesses and supporting rural communities in business education. His hobbies include art education, history, and learning about the ancient civilizations in Eastern Europe, covering Romania and parts of Ukraine, and how these people of five to six thousand years ago lived together in peace and prosperity within large communities and were passionate about art and beauty.
