You will get far more out of the experience than you have to put in, as you journey to become a Rotarian, not just go to Rotary.
Chris concluded by saying "We have a club which we can be very proud of. As I pass the reins over to John, I thank him for taking on the role of President 2016-2017 and wish John and his board a great year. May it be an enjoyable year for you and Linda."
