District Governor Jean-Louis Joly & his wife Danielle Plante
Why we are Rotarians – why we must continue to be Rotarians.
Only great people know how to turn an occasion into a real opportunity.
We have the opportunity the serve humanity through Rotary.
We cannot fly unless we step off our perch.
President is like a music director – projects are better when we work together like an orchestra.
There are those in an orchestra there are those we cannot see – but we can always count on them to get projects done without complaint.
What instrument are each of us in the orchestra.
