Last week: DG Ann Walko hosted the meeting, which included members of the Berkeley Heights, Kennelworth, and Sparta/Jefferson Clubs. Topics included District training, which has been moved online in 2020. Training sessions have been recorded and are available on UTube, reaching many more Rotarians, membership retention, and attracting younger members. DG Ann is looking for ways to support the Clubs during COVID.
Guests and Visiting Rotarians: DG Ann inducted a new member of the Berkeley Heights Rotary Club, Nish Verna, during the meeting.
