Why I joined Rotary

Service has been instilled deep into my culture fibre, it's just something that’s part of my DNA and how I was raised. So when you find a like-minded organization already in place, why reinvent the wheel? Why not partner and build off the momentum toward a shared vision?

Saying that I am very picky. I've been asked to join a lot of boards and I just I don't need to be on that many. I just want to give back fully where I can. I encourage everyone to know what their time is worth. You have to value your time and schedule so you don't over burn yourself either. You're just doing your body damage and occupying a role where somebody else could provide extra value. 

When you read the Rotary International core values of  Service, Fellowship, Diversity, Integrity, Leadership you get better understanding of what I'm saying. It's about the mission, it's been fun being President and it's also been a lot of responsibility! But when your working for something bigger than you with individuals who aren't have the limelight, just the result. It makes things for more worth while and enjoyable. 

What are the four pillars of Rotary?

1) Membership, 2) Programs, 3) Projects, and 4) Fund Raising.
Build on each of these pillars and you will develop an outstanding Rotary Club.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
