Our Morning Star Rotary Foundation Chair, Tom Hartzell, provided a comprehensive update on The Rotary Foundation. Tom focused on District 7430 and Morning Star engagement.

Tom highlighted how Morning Star has always been a strong supporter of the Foundation with over $485,000 donated over the life of MSR and our current complement of 44 Paul Harris recipients, many in multiple levels of participation. It is suggested you also see the District website and the District newsletter for continuing information.

NOV 17, 2022 FOOD FOR THOUGHT

From our "Women of Action" Team - food for thought--

The keynote speaker for Kenya Methodist Univeristy graduation was Rev. Dr. Jane Leach from The Methodist Theological College, Cambridge, UK. Her speech was printed in the program. She shares this

“Western models of education have the tendency to privilege individual achievement and to shape us as individuals that think that the privilege belongs to us. Whenever Western schooling has had an influence, we are all at a risk of this kind of thinking. African philosophies of life know better, though, that we are only who we are because of who others are and that whatever educational qualifications we have achieved we have not achieved them alone and they are not only for your own benefit but for the building up of the whole community. And those who have the privilege of having been to a university have received from the best that the universe has to offer and are invited to seek to make a universal difference.”
