DISTRICT LEADERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS
Second Annual Business Plan Competition

Thursday, May 17, 2012:  12:00 p.m. 

Get involved in imparting your experience and business-savvy to high school youth in your community by teaching them entrepreneurship and how to write Business Plans based on their own ideas. Choose the best four or five and have these students make presentations as your club program, then select the best of their Business Plans for entry in the District competition. This is a great program for publicity in local media and for involving others in your community as instructors, then inviting them to become Rotarians.
