"My Rotary adventure started over 50 years ago with the Indianapolis club which had hundreds of people at the time. Then, as new positions moved us, I experienced a start-up club, a long-established club of about 100 members that sang every week, and for the last 40 years, T-M Rotary has been a very special experience. Rotary has been a vehicle to new friends as well as wonderful opportunities. The club offices, the local projects, the international projects, and being district governor. All of these opportunities allowed me to experience situations which I never dreamed of as a kid. Being in four clubs and visiting over 50 clubs here in district 6270 taught me that Rotary comes in many different forms with women and men of diverse countries, cultures, and needs. What an adventure it has been!"
