Hope you are all doing well. Farewells are usually emotional but not in KGM, we celebrated like JF was returning to KGM not leaving, and by the end of the party, he did infact decide to stay and continue to be part of KGM remotely! The irresistible KGM family is forever.

If you asked a Rotarian if he or she belonged to Rotary International, the individual probably would look puzzled and answer, “Of course I’m a member of Rotary International!” But in this instance, technically the confident Rotarian would be wrong. No Rotarian can be a member of Rotary International! The explanation of this apparent contradiction is simple: the constitutional documents of RI state that membership in Rotary International is limited to Rotary clubs. Over 34,500 Rotary clubs belong to the organization we call Rotary International. So, if someone asks if you belong to Rotary International, your most accurate answer would be, “No, I belong to a Rotary club.” But it is doubtful anyone would understand the difference, or, in fact, would really care.
