Stories
Club Forum November 3 - International Service Review
Brighton Rotary Club Forum - International Service
 
Comments from Club members in 2014
•“We used to involve the community in our international programs. I think doing so makes everyone aware of Rotary and the larger issues we support”
•“We need to identify a worthwhile large international project that we could co-sponsor with another Rotary Club, District, and CIDA”
•“we are not educating our own Rotarians about the inner workings of RI worldwide.”
•“Setting a budget for international service is getting increasingly difficult”
•“It would be nice if we could join with another club to do a foreign sweat equity project together”
•“We do okay in this field”
•“We need to be more involved; not just send a cheque”
•Stage our own 30 hour hunger famine, or camp outside in winter to raise awareness about homelessness
•New thought / Question –  R Clay asked about National Service?
