Will Smith-Ultimate Motivational Speeches October 20-26,2014
Greeter this week: Frank Yakimchuk
A chance discussion with a co-worker this week gave me an opportunity to mention my
Involvement in Rotary by way of the "side door". A supervisor asked me to review a "memo" which he had authored for our staff, after our consultation, a discussion developed regarding travel and others interests. I told him that my wife, Tammy and I had taken a trip to Bangkok a few years ago for the RI International Convention. He replied that he too had spend time in the same area of Thailand on business in the recent past.

Sometimes when the opportunity arises take the time to speak to others about your interests, use the soft sale approach and work to plant the seed of the "Rotary Theme", Service Above Self. Knowing the opportunities that Rotary gives to youth, young adults and others makes for good conversation and a subtle means to bring a fresh face on board to our Club, in my case the E Club of Canada One.
Please stay for our weekly E-club meeting, this can be your "make up" for your own E-club or more likely a " Terra Club" welcome all. To help us in our work, feel free to donate a few "bucks" to the Rotary Cause, this effort will generate more success.

A link to the document (which is also under documents on the website) in the weekly meeting could also be used to promote the New Member Program and the e-club in general.
The New Member Program was designed as a tool to ensure all new members become familiar with the e-club in hopes that they will become enthusiastic and engaged members.

Food for Thought
WHAT IF having a sense of purpose may add years to your life, regardless of what the purpose is?
RESEARCH SAYS: Living “on purpose” enriches your life. Not only does having a purpose contribute to healthy aging, but it may also postpone early death. This is true regardless of age or whether or not you have retired from work. Researchers believe this is because purposeful people look after their health better and are physically fitter. Researcher Dr. Hill states, “Our findings point to the fact that finding a direction for life, and setting overarching goals for what you want to achieve can help you actually live longer, regardless of when you find your purpose."
TRY THIS: The universal purpose of life is to become our best by doing our best. What does it mean to become your best? Write it down and put it someone where you can see it often. Let it drive you when you make important decisions.
