Rotary Volunteer Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

7th<\/sup> December 2024 marked the inaugural Rotary Volunteer Day for District 3450, a first-of-its-kind that brought together District Leaders and Rotarians, and members from both Rotary Community Corp (\u201cRCC\u201d) and Rotary Volunteer Network (\u201cRVH\u201d) whose contributions are being recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are fortunate enough to have founded Rotary Volunteer Network RVN with IPDG Andy as the founding chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
