Rudra Receives Nepal Rotary Banner
 
Rudra received a Rotary Banner from his visit to the local Rotary Club. It is customary for visiting Rotarians to exchange local Club Banners as a sign of friendship and international cooperation. Notice the more formal attire and flowers.  Should we do the same?
