ROTARY TERMS

Sometimes listening to Rotarians may sound like they speak a language all their own!

A typical conversation could sound like this: PAG Leathon asked PDG Lisle if DGE Soraya could assist PP Konrad with the preparation of a GG presentation to new Rtn’s and include information on TRF and how EREY contributions can benefit D7030.
 
While this could easily be the case when a few Rotarian get together and discuss projects – past and planned, they do commonly use acronyms like these.
