First off, attending our weekly Wednesday noon meetings or 2nd & 4th Wednesday 5pm “Rotary Rendezvouz” meetings will help you learn how our club operates. You’ll enjoy lunch or dinner/drinks with friendly Rotarians and learn from our weekly speakers. When we have time, we join in singing some very interesting songs. One of our members commented that attending Rotary, listening and learning from our speakers gave him the equivalent of an MBA!
