There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” May we all keep on try ing to love and cast out our fears, whatever they may be, and exorcise the “demons” that still may be lurking inside of us. Adios, fear! With a smile on your face, sing the verse of “Love makes the world go round.” (If you don’t know The Rotary Club of Greene and Putnam Coun ties is excited to announce that Cathy Kirby is the week five winner of the 2017 Super Raffle Drawing.
