District governor Bill Dendy visited RERC and talked about his vision for the 2016-2017 Rotary year. He spent a fair amount of time promoting the district's new website which has undergone a big face lift. The website promotes the district and the clubs and will be a great portal for prospective members and people who want to get involved with Rotary.

The Rotary Clubs of Andong-Central, in Gyeongsangbug, Korea, and Tsaotun Central in Taiwan teamed to develop a training project for students in Korea with autism and intellectual and emotional disabilities. The students learn crop cultivation, starting with the basics of growing lettuce indoors, then learning how to package and move crops, and, finally, how to sell vegetables to businesses around Andong. The project was supported by a $32,500 global grant from The Rotary Foundation. Read more.
