Rotarians Paying it Forward through Vocational Service
Rotarians serve through various “Avenues of Service”. One of them is Vocational Service, which has its roots in members’ vocational talents and experience.
Most if not all of us have developed training, skills and knowledge we use in our chosen fields. These are often the product of others’ generosity or mentorship. Or they could be the result of hard work and hard-won lessons.  
All this is something Rotarians can and do “pay forward” to “Serve Others to Change Lives”. Vocational Service, one of the Rotary avenues of service, is nothing more nor less than this. We share what we have learned to help others. Here are some examples:
•    A Haddonfield Rotarian used his skill as a dentist to mentor others and to provide dental care to those in need.  
•    Rotarians in our club and elsewhere help others find a job: what we look for and do not like in a resume, job interview or presentation.
•    Rotarians help provide career guidance by helping others know what to expect and what skills are needed in our chosen field or by sharing what are the particular needs and job opportunities in their field, now and in the future.
•    Even “war stories” are full of lessons Rotarians can share. I remember attending a program with my high school age son where the panelists all described the interesting and sometimes convoluted paths which led to the ultimate career field.
•    Rotarians use their contacts to find out what is going on in our communities and the unmet needs there for which a service project can be developed.
•    And of course, providing services at low or no cost in our field of expertise.
 
Our club, in addition, recognizes and celebrates outstanding students, business people and public servants through our Annual Community Awards Event. Stay tuned for that!
 
This is part of what we do and who we are!

Voorhees Breakfast Club has a Corporate Membership Program

Does your business or organization want to get involved with Rotary and the Voorhees Breakfast Rotary Club in particular? We have a Corporate Membership Program, which is open to any type of business or organization. We have designed it to give you the maximum amount of flexibility to participate in Rotary. 

The structure is simple. When approved for membership, you are able to "share" your participation among up to five individuals in your organization. These “corporate designees” can divide responsibility for attending club meetings, serving on projects, and participating in club activities. (Of course, you all may attend together at any meeting or function - you are all considered members.) 
 
Our dues and fees are reasonable. The quarterly cost per member is $80, plus the cost of meals. We have 6 in-person meetings per quarter.
 
If you are interested, please reach out to any of our members, or to our membership chair, Jacqui Canter, jacquic@verizon.net / 609-280-6081; or Past President, Steve Neuner, sneuner@nv-njlaw.com / 609-230-0040. To find out more about what we do and who we are visit our Facebook page or our elsewhere on this website.
