SERVICE ABOVE SELF
I have seen Rotarians simply show up, roll up their sleeves, and say, “Put me to work”. We all have the treasure of sweat equity within us to give. I am humbled to witness the service, and care and concern our members provide for their community, internationally and for each other. To me this is Purpose and Passion for Service.
What’s in it for ME?
Our Membership in Rotary is based on a commitment we all make when inducted, and that is, “Service Above Self”. I have personally been privileged to induct at least two dozen NEW Members to Rotary since July 1. Each, and every one of them pledged to conduct their lives by using our Rotary Four Way Test, and serve their club in community service and support the good work of our charitable arm, The Rotary Foundation. The impact each Rotarian makes both individually and collectively in the club, and our District 7090 is immeasurable. We are all volunteers, with a heart for service. Each one of us can share a story of two of how we joined a club, and became a Rotarian to “Live Our Life in Rotary”.
What’s in it for Me?
You feel good by giving back, paying it forward, mentoring others in volunteerism, and having amazing fellowship with like minded people, who, simply want to provide, “Service Above Self”. It is by helping someone have a better day, helping provide shelter, helping people secure food, alleviating pain and suffering, and supporting peace & conflict resolution, and caring for our environment, that “we serve”. Knowing I give back in some way, helps me create a balance in my life.
What’s in it for Me?
Come out and join us….”IMAGINE, Living Your Life in Rotary”.
