Hear The President's Official Talk đź“˝
With more than 110 clubs in CNY, the regional President will not be able to visit every club individually to deliver the traditional talk with messages from Rotary International. President Lizzy has pre-recorded this talk in a video that has been shared with all club leaders. It features information about our annual theme, The Magic of Rotary, our RI President Stephanie's priorities for the year, and a preview of what to expect in our newly expanded region. At 22 minutes long, it can be used as a program at an upcoming meeting, or members can watch on their own. It is available on YouTube to watch anytime, on any device.
