Why I Became a Rotarian..Shanika Garnett

Shanika said that in the beginning her reason for joining Rotary was just to get out of work by taking an extended lunch and not worry about when she got back to the office.  However, as she continued to attend the weekly meetings, she realized that Rotary does a lot  for the community and the people.  She also felt that joining Rotary would be a good way to overcome her fear of public speaking and combat her shyness.

She says she is now on a mission to promote Rotary to many of her peers to get them involved as early as possible so that Rotary can continue to do good work.
