Rotary Meeting

Dennis invited Lori and I to attend the Green Bay West Rotary meeting on Tuesday morning. The meeting began with reciting the pledge and singing a song. This was actually a new member orientation session, so the directors talked about the programs, services and committees the group is a part of. For example, Green Bay West Rotary is taking part in bell ringing for the Salvation Army in December. They are also partnering with Neighborworks to provide carbon monoxide detectors to low-income families.

I think Lori would agree with me in that it was very interesting and beneficial for us to get a peek as to what Rotary International does, especially on the local level. We got to hear from the members what it means or has meant to them, and it was neat to see how Rotary International impacts the lives of its members and families.

If you have the chance to attend a meeting before the trip, definitely take the opportunity. The website is great, but there is A LOT of information on there, so attending the meeting really helped my understanding and gave me more knowledge.
