Summary of talk by District Governor
Our district governor complimented us on our beautiful meeting place. There are four things that are important in individual clubs. Friendship and service is underlying what we do in our own club. We should make a difference. Community Day is a good example. Leadership is showing that our club exists and helps our community be a better community. Individual chapters count more than International Rotary. Rotary is in 150 countries. Rotary Clubs exist in Egypt and Afghanistan, for example. Some come to meetings to see other members. It is good to support interact club. We will attract new members because our meetings are a pleasurable place to be.
