Rotary Fun Fact
Annual Rotary Calendar
In the annual Rotary calendar many months are designated to emphasize major programs of Rotary International. October is Vocational Service Month. During this period, clubs highlight the importance of the business and professional life of each Rotarian. Special activities promote the vocational avenue of service.

Rotary Fun Fact
first rotarians
 
Did you know that the very first Rotary Club in 1905 had no dues? Instead, they agreed that all club expenses would be paid from $.50 fines. In today's dollar, that fine would be just over $13. By 1915 Rotary International was on the verge of bankruptcy and it's then President Frank Mulholland suggested every Rotarian contribute $1 (just over $24 today), and hence the concept of annual dues was born. That $1 raised enough funds to make the organization whole, and thanks to the institution of dues RI has not suffered financially since.
 
With that,
Remembering Ground Zero - Rotarians Unite in Response To an Unspeakable Tragedy.

Today we remember our nation's great tragedy back on September 11, 2001. The following comes from a Rotary International Magazine expert by Cary Silver from December, 2001:
 
As New York Rotarian Matts Ingemanson headed for the subway on the morning of 11 September, he could not understand why his cell phone was not working. "For some reason, I couldn't make any calls. My phone was completely dead," he recalled. "Then I heard the sirens of firetrucks and police cars." As the train headed downtown, Ingemanson noticed a distraught, disheveled man who told passengers that two planes had crashed into the Twin Towers. "I thought he was a homeless man. No one took him seriously."
 
But it was only a matter of minutes before they did. "When I got out of the subway less than three quarters of a mile from the World Trade Center, I saw a huge cloud of smoke pouring towards me. Crowds of people were running down the street, screaming in fear. I shouted, 'What's happening?' and they shouted back, 'The World Trade building is coming down!'"

Mexico Orphanage Trip Recap
14 Rotarians came together to volunteer at the Casa Hogar Monte Horeb all boys orphanage in Valle De Guadalupe, MX. We spent all day working in 90+ degree heat to build a much needed staircase and paint the boys' kitchen and chapel. We had lunch with the boys and got to hear their stories about how long they had been there and what their goals in life are. Near the end of the day we presented them with some supplies that all teenage boys need (deodorant, shampoo, etc). As a lot of us know, that type of bonding over a shared love of service is what makes Rotary so meaningful. After a hard day of work we enjoyed a lovey dinner and watched the Mayweathr McGregor fight in Ensenada. Sunday we explored La Bufadora and everyone got home safe and sound. Another fun volunteer trip in the books!
