It was another fabulous meeting for RCSE! This past week, Mark Friday filled in for Ed Engel on Fines. Let's just say a lot of money was collected! Many members had Happy dollars as well. As a reminder, once $1000 is raised through Fines, Happy and Raffle, the money will be donated to a local charity - The Dive Savannah. Marianne Ganem- Poppell gave her Member Minute. Once all Rotary business items were discussed, Sam Eskew (ADG) introduced Heather Kellen who is the District Governor for District 6920!
Heather talked about being all in with Rotary and her journey to becoming all in with this organization. She said that November is Rotary Foundation month and gave an update on the number of clubs (36,000) and members (1.4 million) in Rotary International. She believes members are the most important part of Rotary because members cause everything to happen. If a member abides by the Four Way Test and Service Above Self, then so much can be done. She then talked about donations made to the Rotary Foundation and the impact that has on communities throughout the world. Heather concluded her talk by giving RCSE a challenge. She challenged all of us to get involved, learn more about Rotary, to get off the back bench and to say "yes!" If you imagine big, then you will make an impact!
