If you read this month’s The Rotarian magazine, you probably noted the inspirational interviews with several Rotary Peace Fellows, including Summer Lewis, founder of True Roots Consulting, working with family garden projects in Mexico.

“People sometimes ask me how one little project in one little community makes a difference,” Summer told author Steve Almond. “But you can’t think of it like that. You have to consider the thousands, if not millions, of projects all over the world. Then you have to consider all the Rotary Peace Fellows working on projects like this. Then think about all the Rotary clubs carrying out projects in communities. Now you’re talking about changing the world.”

Club Board Club Board Meeting – January 21, 4:30 pm, Sunshine Reporting Services, 151 Country Estates, Reno.

Reno

Not all of us can be hands-on involved in world-wide projects, but we can support the work done by Rotarians and alumni such as Summer and our own Peace Fellow Aimal, now studying in England.

Joining the Paul Harris Society is one way to provide this support. A Paul Harris Society member pledges to donate $1000 to The Rotary Foundation during the Rotary year. The Rotary Club of Reno had 24 Paul Harris Society members last year, and we hope to do even better this year.

If you’d like more information on the Paul Harris Society or are ready join this group of generous Rotarians, contact Paul Harris Society member Gary Bullis or club TRF chair Anne-Louise Bennett for a pledge form. We hope to meet our goal by the end of March in order to qualify for District club recognition.

How To Introduce Your Guests And New Members At A Club Meeting When introducing a guest or new members during a Club meeting, the correct way is to greet the Club President, fellow Rotarians and guests, introduce yourself and state your classification, and then introduce your guest, their title and business affiliation. Please do not introduce any guest as a prospective new member or that they are looking for a position or clients.

Caleb Cage, Chief of the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Advisor, was our speaker on January 11, 2016.
