PROGRAM - Bill Nott, December Program Chair, introduced Livermore Rotarian Patrick Coyle speaking on “Engineers Without Borders USA and Composting Toilets Overview & Nicaragua Project.” A tremendous program that summarized the goals of Engineers Without Borders (our Bill Nott is active!) and Sanitation Challenges and Possible Alternatives in various countries.
