She reminded us to be open to new ideas; to share our Rotary moments and use action pictures; and wear our Rotarian @ Work shirts (we should look into these before our Park Clean up).  We are part of 2,000,000 Rotarians world-wide.  She reviewed the structure of Rotary and the work of the Rotary Foundation. Every Rotarian-Every Year, committed to the Foundation work. She recommended we look at the 5050 website and see all of the district events that all Rotarians can attend.
