VISITING ROTARIAN AND GUEST INTRODUCTIONS
ROTARY MINUTE
Get your timers ready and set for 60-seconds.....Please read this article shared by our Past District Gov Russ Bertrand and written by Michael Brand, an Oregon City, Oregon, Rotarian:  Why Our Service Organizations Are Dying (and how to fix them) and be prepared to participate in a quick, 5-question yes/no survey. The write up is a realistic and useful analysis which I, as club prez, take a bit of guidance from as I plan and set goals for this term.
