THEME:Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development
A delegation of six participants (5 delegates and a facilitator) arrived from the country of Georgia on July 12. They hit the ground running with a full schedule of visits to businesses that support their theme mixed with sightseeing and social activities. Our club is the host for the team, so a group of our members have lined out the scheduled and Rotarians to host the team members in their homes. The team will be introduced at our meeting today. They return home on July 20.
