About the Rotary E-Club 9920 Francophone Special Meeting

The Rotary Club of e-Club 9920 Francophone held a special meeting with RI President Gary Huang on Tuesday, September 30th at 8 pm (time in France) or 1 pm (time at RI Headquarters in Evanston, IL).  The meeting was attended by 133 participants via gotomeeting link on 101 different computers.  President Jean Louis Nguyen Qui of the host club invited PDG & Charter President of our own e-Club of Houston to ask one of the four questions addressed to our RI President.  The question was presented as "In my opinion, allowing women into Rotary in the 1980's helped keep Rotary relevant at the end of the 20th Century. Now we have allowed for e-clubs with members from all over the world, meeting at anytime, and from any place. In my opinion, this will keep Rotary relevant in the first part of the 21st Century. What else in the future of Rotary do you see as important to keep us relevant in a world that desperately needs the humanitarian service we have to offer."  RIP Gary commented on the significant contributions of women since women have joined Rotary.  Also, he is very supportive of the use of technology (e-clubs, gotomeeting, etc.) in Rotary today.

 

PDG Ed said to President Jean Louis "I really appreciate your actions to make this meeting possible. I was in Denver with President Gary last week for Zone leadership training and every time I hear him speak I am more impressed by his leadership."  A governor classmate from 09-10, PDG Russ Davoren, took the following photo of PDG Ed with RI President and his First Lady of Rotary:
