He puts a call to arms out to double the amount of Rotaractors in the world during the next Rotary year and the hall erupts into cheers.Well that was the reality for the now Past District Governor, Lorraine Coffey; and did she come back inspired? Yes she did!  On this episode of the Chats by Rotaract Australia podcast host Laura sits down with PDG of 9650 Lorraine Coffey to talk all things Rotaract.
