I trust that these arrangements are mutually acceptable, but should any of you have any concern or suggestions, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch. It is considered that this approach is more effective than having to ask individual members to indicate, well in advance, whether or not they intend to attend meetings.

Yours in Rotary
