Greetings Rotarians;
So I challenge you: have you made your Rotary Moment this Spring?
Our Rotary Moments are the highlights that excite and invigorate us - those opportunities with others where we Make A Difference, grow the camaraderie and friendship, and realize just how much our Rotary Club of Kelowna does, but moreover just how all of that action is based on what our Members contribute.
There are some great opportunities left. You may have heard Bruce Wilson share my ProAm Volunteerism as a spotter with a lawn chair, cooler, umbrella and stereo. I shared my SnowBirds afternoon w. Chuck. You may have heard about four of us bonding over Taco Bell at 3am in Yakima after a District Conference. Maybe you have heard of some of the famed Club motorcycle rides, golf games, or coming back for it's 2nd Annual: Big Bike Ride?!?!
I know how busy everyone is, I know how sometimes it feels like just getting to Tuesday meetings is all we have to give. I'm here to share that when I give more of my time and get into events that are impactful but also social and activism-based, I get more out of Rotary and get truly excited about the great work we do. Please, please consider diving in and joining us for any of the following:
- Rotary At Work Day: Saturday April 28th, Food Drive at Save On Orchard Plaza (2-hour Shifts - 10-6)
- Sign up for the Big Bike Ride (Friday May 4 - 4pm w. After 5 Following);
- Spring Roundup (May 5, 10-2 Summerland - get your bikes (and/or Motorcycles) road-ready and let's go for it!;
- Approach one new sponsor and/or volunteer at the ProAm (May 15);
- Seniors BBQ (June 27), and/or
- Attend the Club's year-end banquet (June 19 evening), and celebrate the 90th Anniversary of our Club's Inaugural Dinner.
- Join the Club Board in July by volunteering to any Board Member.
- Fox Hunt.
Or create a new opportunity and invite others to join you.
Yours, in Rotary,
James
