In June, Rotarian and State Representative Robert Stevens combined two of his passions: Rotary and traveling, when he attended the Rotary International Convention in Taiwan, along with 37,000 other attendees.
In his presentation on Thursday, he emphasized the international aspect of Rotary, with 1.4 million members worldwide, and how travel promotes the 3rd of Rotary’s Four-Way Test: Building good will and better friendships. You can follow his travels on Facebook and Instagram .
