Award-winning CBS Channel 5 news anchor, Kris Pickel, recently spoke to the noon Rotary Club at Fountain View Village.
Pickel comes to Arizona from Cleveland, where she was most recently the main news anchor for the NBC affiliate in the market.

While there, her investigation on riots and injuries that accompanied the University of Arizona's NCAA win led to procedural changes for police crowd control in the city.
