Rotary Fellowship Groups

I had a couple of questions about the Rotary Fellowship affinity groups that I mentioned yesterday in the presentation. Here is a link to the listing of all of the different fellowships that exist:
 
 
Please share with the club - hopefully, folks will find even more connections with Rotarians beyond our community.
 
Peace,
Shawn+
