We will be meeting at The Pirates House this Friday in our normal meeting room - Captain Flints Hall. The side door to the room will be unlocked if you would prefer to use that entrance.
Our speaker for this week is Nick Deffley who will talk about Savannah's sustainability efforts and programs. Nick and two of his colleagues will provide an overview of a few key sustainability & resilience projects, highlighting the 100% Savannah Clean Energy initiative, Greenways (Tide to Town), and our Sea Level Sensor project.
RCSE looks forward to seeing all members and guests this Friday!
RCSE Oyster Roast-
Thank you!
A huge and heartfelt thank you to Gordon Matthews for hosting the annual RCSE Oyster Roast once again at his beautiful home! Always one of the most fun and most popular events of the year, the oyster roast is a truly fabulous way to enjoy delicious oysters, expertly roasted by Gerald Shantz, in a gorgeous setting and with wonderful camaraderie and fellowship of RCSE members, spouses, and friends! We had perfect weather and more than enough to eat and drink — it was another amazing event! To see all the photos, please visit:
This week's meeting started with Trice Thornton giving a Member Minute! President Jason Jones reminded everyone of the upcoming Oyster Roast at Gordon Matthew's home on Saturday, February 18th. Once all Rotary Business items were discussed, Bill Von Alt introduced our speaker for the day, Dr. K.C. Sato.
Dr. K.C. Sato's journey with Zen Buddhism began in her early twenties. There are many branches of Buddhism with Zen being one of them. Zen is a Japanese word meaning to sit and the first thing you do is learn how to sit. It's most important in Zen Buddhism to sit quietly and be as still as possible. It is more of a philosophy rather than a religion.
Dr. K.C. Sato came to Savannah to start a Zen community (Ancient Oaks Temple). She has loved being here and feels very at home. Dr. Sato said Zen Buddhism is especially important right now due to the digital age in which we are living. It helps you to open your mind and gets you ready to create and ready for the day. She gave a few tips on how to begin meditating such as counting your breaths and looking at a candle flame. She said the final teaching of Zen can never be taught. The final teaching is you in your everyday life.
