It is a real pleasure watching our NC Rotary Club grow, and seeing the rich spectrum of talents, insights and experiences that our new members bring to our club. Although I wasn’t present last Thursday, I can see and hear from the reports that you all had the chance to experience this same pleasure when welcoming Mai Lee as our newest member. We look forward to getting to know our new members better over the next year, and discovering what depth and joy a diverse club can bring!
