Anita Meerdink will talk about and discuss with the members how Inner Wheel clubs locally can get involved in the global project.

Diversity, Inclusion, Integrity and our beautiful IW objects Friendship, Service and International Understanding.
In our clubs, do we live by these lovely words in reality, or how can we make them a reality?

International Contact Pool is a platform for easy, quick, and uncomplicated contact with other Inner Wheel clubs or Inner Wheel friends abroad. In this way, Inner Wheel friends who are on a business trip, a private journey, or a club excursion can easily get in touch with other Inner Wheel friends. It is a new and simple tool to strengthen international understanding. 
It is NOT an “Inner Wheel travel agency”, but rather a way to quickly find a contact person in a city or region of personal interest.
