PROGRAM SUMMARY Jim Becker

Travel is Fatal ~~~~~

~~~ to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness that is!!! Mark Twain penned these wise words to the value of travel and discovery well over a century ago and Service in Rotary continues to demonstrate this truth.

Jim Becker, Rancho Cotati Rotarian, traveller, international consultant on several health and education development projects brought his 25 year experience into focus on his recent visit to South Korea for the 2016 Rotary International Convention.

Jim also serves on the board of Global Offsite Care , a tele-medicine provider and has coordinated installations worldwide.

Jim emphasized the tremendous value of meeting other Rotarians from around the world and creating Beneficial Friendships which become creative relationships lasting lifetimes.  

The stark demarcation zone between North and South Korea were a contrast to the Fellowship and Peace building partnerships originating through Rotary International.  Heartbeat International is one such venture providing life saving and sustaining pacemaker implants in medically underserved areas.

Rotary is Serving Humanity, in the words of Rotary International President John Germ, for his 2016-2017 Theme.
