All women in Finnish Rotary should be applauded and acknowledged for their Contribution to both Finnish and global society. My personal experience in Finland on Group Study Exchange from Western Austr...alia D9455 in 2003 to Finland & Estonia D1420 as team Leader with 5 Australian Ladies was that everyone appreciated the contribution of Women in Rotary.
Women in Rotary has changed the face of Rotary for the better. Your contribution can only go from strength to strength with Service above Self and you will Make a Difference in 2017 2018 with our Australian RI President Ian Riseley.
Cheers from Assistant Governor D9455 and Rotary Club of Hillary's D9455.

"Yksi reissuun lähtemisen syistä oli elämän rajallisuuden ymmärtäminen. On tartuttava hetkeen ja ryhdyttävä toimeen" Ihana juttu Ritvasta, yhdestä Women in Rotary voimanaisista ❤️

Viime syksynä juuri leskeksi jäänyt Ritva Heinonen toteutti suuren unelmansa ja matkusti Uuteen-Seelantiin. Matka oli surutyötä, mutta myös vapautumista: enää ei tarvinnut olla vastuussa kenestäkään muusta.

In 1978, the Rotary Club of #Duarte (California) dared to admit women as members in violation of the... Rotary International Constitution. As a result, the Rotary Club of Duarte was almost immediately terminated by Rotary International (March, 1978).
