Spring into Rotary
Spring is a time of renewal: longer days, warmer weather, planting season, birthing season for both wildlife and domesticated animals. Let’s make this spring a time of renewal and recommitment to Rotary. As members of such a great local and global organization we all have opportunities to engage other Rotarians, help others, travel, and make an impact in Brookings and beyond.
First, commit to coming to Tuesday meetings on a routine basis. With our quality programs there is always something new to learn. Furthermore, Rotary is a great place to network and meet other people; people who care and are committed to making the world better.
Second, get involved in Rotary outside of the normal Tuesday meeting. For example, attend a Thirsty Thursday event on the first Thursday of the month. Or volunteer at one of our many service projects.
Third, broaden your horizons! Rotary is the world’s premier service organization with opportunities to explore and serve all over the world. Consider the friendship exchanges to Denmark and India, or the trip to Tanzania next May. Of course, the Rotary International Conventions in Australia this May, in Singapore in 2024, and Calgary 2025 will all be wonderful opportunities to explore new places and meet other Rotarians.
Last, but not least, don’t keep Rotary a secret. Bring a friend or a coworker to a meeting this spring.
