Actions speak louder than words.
Words. Explanations, hopes, excuses, dreams, apologies, promises, plans – life is always easier said than done. Words spark our imagination.
Action. Action is humbling. Action takes courage. Action calls out our best and reveals what’s weak or missing in us. Together in service we are inspired by one another in good times. In tough times we learn how to balance honesty with empathy and understanding.
Action brings lasting change.
Your District is working to strengthen and support you in action. Here’s how.
International Service Committee. Last year Past District Governor Chuck Hanson, together with a strong team of collegial leaders, formed the International Service Committee (ISC). The ISC is working to inspire and engage you and your club in international service in a way and at a level that makes you proud. PDG Chuck reflects, “There’s nothing like international service to move Rotary from head to heart.”
Lasting change.
Community Service Committee. World peace begins at home. Most Rotarians think community service first. Community service shines Rotary ideals and attracts and engages members. Your District is growing our ability to inspire and engage you and your club in more, and more effective, community service. Under the leadership of Rotary Club of La Crosse Downtown Past President Andrew Bakkum, we will learn about your successes, share ideas, encourage collaboration, and partner more vitally with the District Foundation team to inspire excellence in grant-writing to help fund projects.
Lasting change.
