For Lew Miller, Erie Club member and Rotarian, sharing your Rotary experience with others is just what you do! "I owe Rotary my success in business". For Lew the mentoring and support he received early on in his business, along with the fellowship were the reasons for his current passion for Rotary. "I have this fire in my belly", which is why he goes around to other clubs offering this message of encouragement. Lew reminded club members, (especially those long time Rotarians who think they are done contributing), "You have to leave a legacy for those who will come next". It's important for future Rotarians to have the same great experience as you did". Lew reminded the club that Rotary has a branding problem- "Many people do not know what Rotary is and our stories can help explain why you are a Rotarian". In closing, Lew and Andy Lee did some role playing to show how storytelling can lead to inviting someone to a club meeting.
