Membership Speed Networking, so bring a friend! In celebration of our new Rotary year, we will be having some topic discussions and just like speed dating, some members and guests at each table will switch to another Rotarian table. Each table will have a table Captain and each seat will be numbered at each table. Be ready for some fun and interesting conversations with your fellow rotary members and hopefully some guests.
