Greetings! There are lots of things that even long time members of Rotary don't know about - or have forgotten about. Did you know there are many interest groups called fellowships? Here's a link on the Rotary International website. There's everything from 4 x 4s, fishing, flying, chess, railroads, yoga, photographers, stamps, curling, doll lovers, quilters and fiber artists, and even whiskey! Check it out - and you will meet people from all over the world with the same interest as you. https://www.rotary.org/en/our-programs/more-fellowships Enjoy! Hyla
