District Governor Tom and the leadership team decided to try something new. Historically, One Rotary Summit events took place in the evening in 2 locations. To respect the schedules of busy Rotarians, instead of an in person meeting, they created a video. Presidents received a thumb drive with the 12 minute video to show it as a club meeting by April 15.
