Membership in a Rotary club offers you opportunities to connect with other professionals who aren’t afraid to lead and are dedicated to making a difference. Spending time with your fellow club members — whether to attend a meeting, plan a project, exchange ideas, or just have fun — can lead to lifelong friendships. When you get involved and make connections, you will inevitably grow as a person and develop new skills. . . . . #rotary #connectforgood #connect #leaders #leadership #makeadifference #friendship #newskills #rotaryinternational #rotarywhitbysunrise #townofwhitby #durhamregion
