Small Acts - Big Impact

Have Your Say 2019 -2020
 
For the first meeting of the new Rotary year, President Robyn took the opportunity to have a “discussion” with members and invited all present to complete a Member Survey.  Discussion points and feedback were recorded by Membership Director, Donald.  Directors will use this valuable information moving forward this year.  If you missed the survey, this has been emailed to all members separately.  For the meeting notes, please click READ MORE.
