Howard Schultz shared a video highlighting the past 50 years at the North Suburban YMCA and the long standing relationship between our club and the Y.

 

He also told us about new programs and events that will be taking place this year to celebrate the Y’s 50^th Anniversary. 

 

Howard thanked us for our continued support and encouraged everyone to attend this year’s Strong Kids Dinner on March 8^th.

“We feel that there’s a human right of people to live in peace,” he told The Rotarian. “We feel it’s a human right to have a modicum of health care, to have a decent place in which to live, to have a chance to have an education, to have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and the right to elect your own leaders.”

 

We tend to underestimate folks who have an average income of only one or two dollars a day, who don’t have good educations or decent homes. We think they’re inferior to us in some way because they haven’t provided for their families as we have. When we deal with them on a personal basis, we soon learn that they’re just as good as we are, they’re just as intelligent, just as ambitious, just as hard-working. Their family values are just as good as ours. We also learn that their perspective on life is different from ours, often because of the circumstances in which they’ve been born and raised. But we learn to respect them just as much as we respect ourselves.
