Description
Tom Starks and his fellow Rotarian stride into the White House lobby, volunteer credentials pulsing with purpose—driver safety patrols, food drives feeding the hungry, fitness drives forging healthier communities. Josh's joke ignites backlash, fraying their alliance with the administration, yet Sam pitches seatbelt laws amid rebuffs, exposing Rotary's grassroots muscle clashing against federal overreach. This service fraternity wields local goodwill and moral suasion, pressuring political giants while embodying tireless civic duty in the shadow of national crises.
