    PROGRAM:
    CHRIS JOHANSSEN, program chair for the month of August, introduced Riall Nolan, Dean of International Programs, who spoke to us about the impact of International Education.

    SUSAN'S THOUGHT:

    SUSAN ended our meeting with a question. What if you knew of an organization that was having an international conference in Chicago? What if you learned that by blocking some time in your busy summer schedule (18-22 June 2005) and investing some of your resources to register and reserve space, you could talk with fascinating people from 166 countries and enjoy cross-cultural immersion with folks who use the same 4-way test of the things they think, say and do? That's right, the organization is Rotary, and the Centennial Convention an opportunity for all of us to revel in the international benefits of being a Rotarian.
