　• Under the theme “My Thoughts on Our Club's Service Activities,” everyone shared their views over dinner.
 
Below are excerpts of the opinions shared.
　：Many of our activities have continued for a relatively long time. I'd also like to take an active part in overseas activities.
　：How about several clubs working together on a somewhat larger project?
　：We couldn't carry out service activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, but I want to participate actively from now on.
　：I think we strike a good balance between local community service and international service.
　：Projects like the well-digging in Nepal give a sense of achievement. The children's smiles are wonderful.
　：Few members take part in local service activities.
　：It is important to go on-site and take part directly.
　：I'd like us to consider Youth Service, something that can help develop young people.
　：Why not carry out service projects using grants (district and global)?
　：Our club's service activities are wonderful. I look forward to activities that are truly Rotarian.
　：I took part in the blood donation drive and want to do activities that make people happy.
　：Wouldn't it be better to carry out service activities that take into account the feelings and views of those receiving the service?
 
It had been a while since our last fireside meeting, so the conversation was lively, and the two hours flew by.
Thank you to everyone who took part.
Everyone was camera-shy, so we finished without taking photos.
