Club visits and accompanying service projects the past month have brought me so much joy. I wish I could properly convey how pleased I am with our District. I love the uniqueness of the clubs, including when and where they meet, what they eat, the makeup of the clubs, projects completed, the clubs’ social environment/chemistry, and the true love of Rotary I have experienced on my travels so far. You guys are magical!
