Season for change
The Rotary International (RI) Regionalisation Zone 8 program explores innovative approaches and opportunities for Rotary in the future. Similarly, Australia is currently in the middle of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit, which serves as a platform for dialogue and exploration of resolutions, for both global and regional issues.
On both the ASEAN Summit and RI’s Regionalisation program, whether either will thrive or whether it will falter; whether our service will mean much to many or a little to a few; whether Rotary is known with respect or seen as a relic of days gone by, all this is up to us -Rotarians. I call it a lesson in what can be achieved if we ignore the odds against us, if we are determined and never quit.
