Former Governor General Anand Satyanand on Rotary clubs' struggle to survive

Former Governor General and long time Rotarian Sir Anand Satyanand believes the service clubs can survive but with changes.

Rotary is an international organisation which has been going since 1905, with the first clubs established in New Zealand in 1921.

But now some local clubs are disappearing and others have memberships so low they are facing a similar fate.

Sir Anand has been involved for more than 20 years.

He tells Nine to Noon the clubs can continue but they will have to be smaller, more nimble and more active in different sort of ways.
