What do you do and what was your career path that brought you here?
I am the Administrator of Operations and Marketing at Altus Lake Jackson Center. My career path has mostly meant I have stayed in the classroom. I attended university for eight years where I obtained my MBA and Masters of Hospital Administration (MHA).

 

What do you love most about your job?
I love having the opportunity to work with and influence my employees on a daily basis. I also enjoy having the chance to be a blessing to patients that have financial issues and burdens when it comes to receiving healthcare. 

 

No, I am fairly new to the community, I have only been here for about 4 months.

 

I am originally from Nigeria and I won a visa lottery to come to the United States.

 

Why did you join rotary?
I was forced! Just kidding, I saw the good that men like Kenny and Walter were doing. I was impressed and wanted to join an organization that benefited and cared for the community, not just themselves.

 

What motivates you?
The idea of failing. I want to learn from failures and ensure that those mistakes are not made again.

 

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Hobbies?
I enjoy exercising and playing sports. I played football in college, but really enjoy basketball.

 

Can you tell us a little bit about your family?
I have five siblings, four sisters and a brother. I am number 3 out of the six children.

Great news! With our big haul at last week's meeting, we are within $5,000 of our goal of $21,250 in sponsorship growth, which would put us at a total of $132,150. That's nothing short of amazing giving us a growth of almost 20 percent.

 

But you know what would be really incredible? We are less than $18,000 away from reaching $150,000. If each of us were to bring in just one $250 sponsorship in the next two and a half weeks, we would be there.

 

Let's not be afraid to set our goals high. Let's push ourselves to do more than we thought we could.

 

Let's give ourselves the tools to go out and help our community this year more than we ever have before.

 

Let's hit $150,000.

District 5890 is holding a Friendship Exchange with INDIA District 3052 in November. The dates are November 11 to November 23. Details are currently being worked out now.

 

If you are interested in HOSTING or participating in this Exchange, please contact Surender Talwar.

 

 

 

 

We have made great strides in connecting spouses, partners, family and friends of Rotarians at various functions. We are proud and VERY excited to announce that we are now an official Chartered Rotary Community Corps (RCC) Organization (an official service branch of Rotary International) specifically for non-Rotarians of District 5890.

 

Does your spouse, significant other, family or friends decline to come to Rotary functions because they don’t know anyone? This is the perfect way to change that AND is a way to have fun, give back to the community and meet some great people.

 

Want to hear more?

 

Join us and witness great things happening!!
