Rotary New Year 2020

I spent the last year writing articles explaining the Rotary philosophy and what Rotary emphasizes each month of the year. I have shared volunteer activities, with numerous pictures of Rotarians engaged in making a difference in the community. I have asked for volunteers and asked for people who are like-minded to step up and join our efforts to “do good in the world”.

What makes you decide to get involved with a good cause? Do you ever hear about someone in need and decide to actively do something to help? Would you consider joining a group in order to make a larger impact and to create positive change in the world? Do you prefer to work with children, animals or adults? 

This is a new year. Many of us think about resolutions and many times our focus is on how we can improve ourselves physically. I am challenging each of you to make a resolution to focus on a group in need. Think about what you are passionate about and how you can join forces to have a significant impact. If ever there was a time this world was in need of kindness, it is now. Happy New Year’s to all.
