Wear Your Pin EVERY DAY by Jim Gilmore


Do you carry Rotary to your vocation?
How about a simple way to do this...Do you wear your Rotary pin on your lapel EVERY DAY? Or just on Fridays and at Rotary events?
Think about it: we know you are a Rotarian so wearing it only at Rotary events is kind of redundant.
How about if we start wearing our pin every day and see if we can make it a habit. It is the cheapest and most effective PR we have.
Be proud to be a Rotarian and take the opportunity to explain Rotary to those you come in contact with every day in your business dealings.

LACASA's 5th annual "Walk A Mile in Her Shoes" event will be held Saturday, April 24th at the Tanger Outlet Center. Men are encouraged, but certainly not required, to walk in women's shoes. LACASA will have a limited number of women's shoes available at the event…participants may want to bring their own. There will be a "Frou-Frou" station at the event where men and their supporters can get creative and decorate their shoes. Participants are encouraged to collect pledges in support of their efforts to "walk a mile in her shoes." Funds raised at the event will allow LACASA to continue to support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse in Livingston County. The march is scheduled to begin at 10:30am inside the Food Court at the Tanger Outlet Center. Pre-registration is recommended. Please visit www.lacasa1.org or call Julie Smith at (517) 548-1350 for more information.
