At our June 13th meeting, Emily Hurd, who is the owner and operator of The Norwegian, a restaurant in Rockford's lower North End, gave us the story of her 10-year battle to try and open her restaurant. This is the first time she has shared this story in public. She has a very professional PowerPoint presentation which has all of us wondering why she didn't quit a dozen times during the ordeal. But as her father told her, we are not quitters. Basically, it was a story of "if it can go wrong, it did go wrong". Thank you Emily for giving Rockford Rotary the chance to hear your story. We think you should be out there telling it to anyone who will listen.
