I had the honor of serving as District 5950’s and can attest that it is H. All of the above! But it’s so worth it. I met new friends and was tremendously inspired by our clubs.
I learned so much about Rotary – and myself. And the satisfaction of spending a year working with clubs in one of the premier Rotary districts in the world is beyond description.
