Several of our members, and our Inbound
Exchange Student, had the opportunity to meet and greet the
current President of Rotary International, Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar.
A very down to earth individual he repeated his oft said wish that
every 17 year old student become an exchange student - and if that
were true there would be no more war. He also expressed a
strong desire for Rotary to adopt to 2005 and change some things
that have been around since 1905. "What worked then will not
work now." How refreshing. He is a strong advocate for
increasing not only the numbers of women in Rotary, but the role
of women as well. He related all the women he has appointed
to leadership positions, including the first Foundation Director.
It was a pleasurable evening and District 6930 was a consummate
host. |
