On this chilly day, despite the weather, Mary led our meeting with warmth and enthusiasm. She started the meeting by guiding us through the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the Four-Way Test, a reminder of our guiding values as Rotarians. To inspire us further, she shared a powerful quote from Thomas Edison:

"The value of an idea lies in the using of it."

With this, Mary set the tone for a meeting centered on action and the power of ideas in creating positive change. Read on to see how this vision unfolded throughout the session!
