RI President Ian Riseley supports to give clubs more flexibility in membership and meetings. "If you want to meet every week, and it suits your club, that's great. But there are people who can't do that, for whatever reason. To me, the flexibility is really important." (excerpt from the article in July 2017 Rotarian)

Children can travel to school, entrepreneurs can transport goods, healthcare workers can visit patients, and the list goes on and on. This opens up a whole new world for them. Please consider making a donation. You can do so directly on this site, or checks can be made payable to WBR.
