Welcome to Parnell Rotary on 18 July 2018 - We had 26 members today Guests - Our very own DG, Ingrid and John. Plus 3 very inspiring Rylians - Michelle, who's off to join the Territorials, Stephanie who is also a Rotaract member and Kerwin, they all shared a bit of what they got out of being part of RYLA. This weeks speaker was Ingrid giving us her first DG Conversation / Talk. One of Ingrid's goals this year is to encourage more interaction and connection between clubs and "District", to improve communication and increase understanding. The her various Themes "Be the Inspiration" to emphasise the opportunities Rotary offers to create a better world - captured in our vision - Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to crease lasting change - across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves". The second Theme for the District - "Keeping Rotary Real" - being relevant for now and the future. Ingrid also covered four key aspects of Rotary with a few facts, followed by some thoughts behind these. We also had a Q n A session that Nick administered.
