Dr. Marilyn Benton, with Academic Abundance, talks to Clinton-Sampson Rotarians Monday about the power of observation, enlisting the help of membership chairman Eileen Coite in one of her exercises. Coite showed off a tray filled with items to each group of Rotarians and then Benton asked them to write down the names of the items they observed on the tray. ‘It’s important to know your surroundings and show that you see people,’ Benton noted.
