President Nadine on the Hot Seat
In recognition of Rotary Awareness Month, our club meeting was in turned into an exciting talk show. Our hot seat contestants this week were none other than the lovely President Nadine, and PE Thomas. Hot seat contestant were asked to answer a series of questions prepared by the host and members of the club. Contestant were given no time to practice or prepare, resulting in: real, fresh and funny responses.
This meeting was inspiring, motivating, refreshing and exciting all the same time.. All members learnt about their leadership and were thrilled to get an insight into each one of them.
Let's take a look at President Nadine's responses:
