7 Challenges • “Bottom up” • To strengthen our clubs, we will work from the “bottom up”, rather than from the “top down.” • “Bottom up” means that for us, the leadership of Rotary, it will be far more important to see than to be seen, far more important to listen than to be heard, and far more important to love than to be loved.
Let Rotary clubs strengthen the operations and administration of their clubs, making them stronger. • Combating Illiteracy a. How are clubs in our district addressing literacy issues? b. What projects have proven successful in our district? c. How can the CLE program become a standardized literacy program in our district?
