U.S. Supports Youth Involvement in Public Service

On January 12, CG Yee addressed a gala dinner organized by Rotaract Clubs of Thessaloniki [Rotaract is the youth branch of Rotary International] to celebrate the first ever Rotaract Europe Meeting (REM) held in Greece. Approximately 300 Rotaract members from 27 countries around the world participated in three days of activities, in which young leaders exchanged ideas, networked and learned about northern Greece and the wider region. CG Yee commended Rotaract members for their commitment to public service and urged them to contribute to the solving of key global challenges of the 21st Century.
