Get more members involve with the Polio Plus Society. We talk about making Rotary look good. We have to work on better public image. We have to promote more educational projects like, Spelling Bee, Readers are Leaders and promote children making an essay of “the Four-Way Test”, etc.

He hopes that this Rotary year, Mid Isle is also planning to come with a Health Awareness Project. We need to have our Disaster Plan ready. We have to be prepared for any disaster.
We have to work on the environment and promote more information and projects in this field, like beach cleaning projects, plant a tree project, banning of usage of Styrofoam and or plastic containers instead using environment friendly food containers which are available.
