Gino and Debra Porazzo 
Gino is a business entrepreneur and is currently working with a company that manufactures walls for construction purposes.  Debra is a personal stylist and is very involved in their three children's lives.  Their older daughter participated in Rotaract in college and has been encouraging her parents to get involved in Rotary.  Both the older daughter and a son have degrees in business.  Their youngest child is a Senior at Regis High School and recently returned from an extended Regis-related mission trip to Belize where a group of 30 students worked in an orphanage for three weeks.  Upon return home, this daughter also encouraged her parents to get involved in community volunteer work.
 
Please welcome Gino and Debra as the newest members of the Rotary Club of Parker.
