Words From The Glorious Leader
President Tony says the make up rules have been eased significantly. No longer must your make up be within 14 days of a club meeting. Now you can make up anytime in the Rotary year.
If that isn’t enough, the classification system is out…gone… no more!
So, there’s Rotary…no “class” and only doing your make up once a year!
