“the evening was perfect to give us creative ideas to ….set…our goals and objectives.”

“They came and did a ‘session’ with our club… helped us to ‘think out of the box’ and produce some visioning ideas through interactive brainstorming activities…”

“It’s amazing that we came to consensus in such a short time from such a diverse group.”

“Rotary is not an organization for

retrospection. It is rather one whose worth and

purpose lie in future activity rather than past performance.”

Paul Harris, Founder of Rotary International
