He related from RI to the code of conduct and the four way test and how these apply and intertwine with our work in Vocational Service. We often do not realize just how much influence and mentoring we do in our club as it comes so naturally through the work with youth in our communities. Our club for example does vocational service with NSCC students through Valley Faces, the Interact Club at NKEC, Scholarships, student trips to Ottawa, individual student requests for special projects and/or trips etc. Thanks Bill for your review, it was very useful to bring that back to the Club Members attention!! Family of Rotary - Phyllis shared with us that both Mildred Miller and Mary Walsh are in Restorative Care programs in Digby but will be coming back to our area.
