They each have one minute to ask the person sitting across from them any questions they want. We ring the bell after two minutes and the seasoned Rotarians slide down a seat. We will have some cards with conversation starters on the tables to help the Rotarians along.

❤ ❤ Hopefully our missing Rotarians will fall IN LOVE again with Rotary ❤ ❤
