Our guest speaker this morning was our own Reza Jafari
Classification talks are the best way to get to know our fellow Rotarians and I think we just scratched the surface this morning with Reza. Reza is motivated to succeed and help others and that was very evident while he was speaking. He is an immigrant from Iran and of course when he arrived he did not know English very well. He struggled to 'fit in' to this great 'Canadian life' that he had heard of before he arrived. He tried out for the basketball team in High School and although he had never played basketball in his life, they took him on the team because he was tall. Reza then went to the school everyday at 6:30am to practice and he won the 'most improved' basketball player that year. That is just one of his stories.....Thank you Reza for sharing your very young life with us and we are looking forward to working with you on our Rotary projects. We are very lucky to have you in our Rotary Club.
