DG Steve Meadley gave program - About our District 7010 programs & priorities for the clubs in our district.

We need a volunteer from our club to submit ideas & liaison with the Great Ideas committee.

Can’t go back to the way Pre-pandemic Rotary looked like - reassessment and appealing to new Rotarians. Building relationships - online is a BIG thing, do more rather than meeting more.

Forming an ECO-club format.

Attractive to tomorrow’s new members

Buddy/pen pal in the district or larger Rotary family - social interactions is one of my favourite things about being Rotary
