Midwest PETS attendees are ready for a full day of inspiration and engagement!

Dr. Richard Kyte kicked off the day by challenging Rotarians to create shared spaces and activities that bring people together. Now we're attending an exciting variety of breakouts and facilitated discussions to make that a reality for all of our clubs!

The first day of Midwest PETS was inspirational, informative, and (most of all) FUN!

After a full afternoon of workshops and district breakouts, we heard from Rotary International President-Elect Olayinka Hakeem Babalola, who urged Rotarians to create a change and impact mindset, and Rotary International General Secretary John Hewko, who urged club leaders to be innovative and revolutionary.

Rotarians: Remember to take this opportunity to network and meet more Rotarians from the six districts that make up Midwest PETS. Also, tag in your photos!
