PROGRAM:
Eric introduced District Governor Richard Fox. Richard stressed that we should all be aware of the "Why" of our membership in Rotary. For him it is the expanded impact we can have through the synergy of working together. We have an impact from local to global. We need to work to ensure the longevity of our club, our district, and Rotary International. Welcome newcomers, share ideas and projects with other groups in your community, support Rotarians beyond your own club, plan to get involved at the district level, and have fun. He encouraged members to attend the district conference from May 1-3 at Jay Peak.
