Michael Chertier from the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice briefed the club on the status of school choice throughout the US and in Nevada which has turned into a battleground for the nation on this issue. He discussed the current spate of anti-school choice law suits and the possible impact on the quickly spreading school choice initiatives. Currently over half the States have some sort of school choice implemented. How To Introduce Your Guests And New Members At A Club Meeting When introducing a guest or new members during a Club meeting, the correct way is to greet the Club President, fellow Rotarians and guests, introduce yourself and state your classifi cation, and then introduce your guest, their title and business affi liation. Please do not introduce any guest as a prospective new member or that they are looking for a position or clients.
