Rotary News
At their weekly meeting on Tuesday, October 14, the Rotary Club of the Bronx welcomed Brandon Armstrong a former anchorman at The Onion.com and winner of the Peabody Award. Armstrong spoke on the media and how he believes that “95% of journalists working today change the facts of a story in order to enhance their own reputations.” The Onion.com is a satire news site.

The Bronx Rotary Club donated money so that Dunkley could travel to Albany to speak at the Convention for Disabilities.
