Sutton-Darr joined Rotary in 2006 in order to expand her community service involvement beyond local fund-raising projects for the American Cancer Society and other charities. “As sole proprietor of my business, The Decorator’s Eye, I could only do so much to give back to the community. Rotary added a new dimension to my efforts,” she said. She began as fellowship chair, then community service chair, first VP, and was named president-elect last year.
