President's Message July 18
Posted by Sharon Fontana on Jul 18, 2016
On June 17th- 20th, 151 high school students attended Camp Neidig. “To see change, you need to BE the CHANGE”, Charlie Incalcaterra (District Co-Chair of Camp Neidig) stated in his closing remarks to the Campers. He asked the young leaders to look around and see a problem and invent the solution – BE the CHANGE . Rick Morrissey discussed how he works with the local high schools to identify young leaders that would benefit from the opportunity to attend Camp Neidig. Jovi Rodriguez was one of the four students sponsored by Morning Star Rotary this year. He shared how the program gave him an entirely different perspective on leadership. Upon arrival, Jovi thought that being a leader meant taking charge. He left Camp Neidig understanding that a leader knows when to listen, and when to let others step up. The experience allowed him to meet and develop friendships with different types of people who he may not have crossed paths with otherwise.
Camp Neidig is celebrating 67 years of inspiring tomorrow’s leaders. I am proud that MSR supports this amazing program!
This Week’s Meeting
This Thursday, I will review our club's budget and plans for the year ahead. It will be a year of maintaining MSR’s great traditions with new ideas on Strengthening Our Club, Enhancing Public Image and Awareness, and Increasing Humanitarian Service.
