assessment. Rotary Club of Worcester MA asked the area’s largest non-religious, non political organization that has humanitarian impact on the community (UMass Medical) if they had any humanitarian needs (effecting families, children or veterans) not met by any other source. Then club members voted on 11 projects proposed. NICview was #1
• When the community sees value, support, Rotary teamwork & PR develop naturally.
