We started by reading the Four Way Test. 13 members joined, in today as well as our special guest Steve McGrandle and Milie Tiang.

Our meeting was a special meeting and we are very happy to have a new member in our Club! Milie Tiang was introduced as our newest club member by President Julie.

Here she is with Julie and Jose Riga who proposed her for membership.

Before joining Rotary, she hear a lot of good thing about Rotary such as:

·         A place where you can get involved in many different projects who she can bring your skills and put them to work.

·         A place where if she need some help while she is traveling, a Rotarian will be there for helping her out.

·         A place where she will be part of a worldwide community who gives a lot to the world, people who share the same vision.

Welcome to Rotary Milie, we are sure that you are going to be a great member in our club!
