Brainstorming at Boston Commercial Wharf

I just came back from a Rotary meeting with Steve Demeranville and David Manzi from the Boston Rotary Club at Joe's Amercian Bar and Grill (Commercial Wharf, Boston). We have been continuing our thought process about the future of Rotary. We came up with two main conclusions:
(1) There is disconnect between young Rotarians (scholars, GSE, youth exchange) and the "real" Rotarians, which is a due to varying interests in the respective stage of life.
(2) Becoming a Rotarian and attending club meetings is currently not attractive for young adults, who have to make a career in their business lifes.
Our new plan of action is to work on a business plan of how we can revive the Boston Rotary Club and turn into a community of professionals, who are on the one hand willing to serve the ideals of Rotary International and who are on the other hand having fun meeting on a regular basis!
