Aaron reads to us

Aaron feels the Rotarian magazine has high quality content and he decided to read a bit of it to us.  To be fair (why start now?) we didn't have a speaker and he had to come up with something on short notice.

10 Reasons to be a Rotarian

Polio - almost gone.  16 cases this year.  People who take action can make a sustainable change for billions of people.

Foundation - this is its centenary year and it has spent 3 billion on making the world a better place.

Social Networking - being part of something and connecting with others is good for you.

Comes Back - District grants give our money back multiplied so the benefit to the community is even greater.

Membership is even more flexible - soon we won't have to show up but then - see #3?

Peace Initiatives and Education - one person at a time or supporting NGOs Rotary changes minds.

Scholarships - the best and the brightest.  Midland gives a scholarship to a member of each graduating class.

Rotarians are happier and healthier.

Working for the future - Youth engagement, RYLA, Youth Exchange, Adventures in..., Student of the Month.
