Rotary Club of Rouyn-Noranda's official visit

Yesterday the Rouyn-Noranda Rotary Club had a very full meeting.  Besides their usual business, AG Claude Hubert, RI Coordinator Paul Beaulieu and I, DG Dawn Straka spoke to members of the Club and their guests.  In fact this is my 3rd visit to this Club with in a year.  The first was in relation to our Conference before 2010-2011 started and to spend time with incoming AG Claude Hubert; the second visit was George's and my attendance at the Club's 60th Anniversary Celebration; and yesterdays visit gave me an opportunity spend time with the Club's Executive, speak about general Rotary matters and catch up on the Club's status. 

I asked RIC Paul to come along for this and the Val d'Or visit to help portray in French the most recent thinking about what it means to be an active Rotary Club and to solicit some thoughts as to how our District might better support them .  There was some excellent discussion.
