Ready to meet? Do you want to know who this week's guest speaker is?

Rotary International is celebrating 116 years this month. Rotary "pioneered a new model of service leadership grounded in person-to-person connections. Today, those connections are a network that spans the globebridging cultural, linguistic, generational, and geographic barriersand shares the vision of a better world." And now we look to the future. Rotary Int. has developed an Action Plan through 2024: to increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance participant engagement, and increase our ability to adapt. Have a listen as Dr. Francis Tusubira of Uganda expands on the four strategic priorities, and the rationale behind them, in his 2019 International Assembly speech. https://youtu.be/ev-aIJd7LnM

Our guest speaker at our Wednesday, February 24th was Anthony LeBlanc. Anthony LeBlanc is a Canadian sports executive and is currently the President of Business Operations and Alternate Governor with the Ottawa Senators of the NHL. Meeting attendees had the opportunity to hear about how the Senators organization is coping with the pandemic. A focus for the organization is the charitable work that it does/enables in the community. Kudos to all involved. https://www.facebook.com/ottawasenators/?ref=page_internal
