GOVERNOR MEETS — Rotary District Governor John Carkner of Fredericton, left, recently met with the Houlton Rotary Club. Joining Carkner are, Houlton Rotary President Scott White, middle, and District Governor-Elect Leigh Cummings.
“I believe the way for Rotary to remain viable and vibrant in the next century is to help our clubs to be bigger, better, and bolder,” Klinginsmith said.
Governor Carkner said that clubs need to focus on membership, the Rotary Foundation, and public relations, which will all lead to growth. He said the Rotary Club needed to “stay the course and grow the force.” He then presented the logo banner for the year “Building Communities – Bridging Continents” to Rotary president, Scott White. There are over 1.2 million Rotary members in more than 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries worldwide.
