Rotary Reflections

Napoleon Hill has stated that every well-built house started with a definite plan in the form of blueprints. I’d suggest that every well-built service club is guided by a blueprint. What is LERC’s blueprint? Do we have one? What do we measure our actions, activities and goals against? A blueprint is simply a map to guide the club’s journey. It helps prioritize the important tasks on our agenda.
