In the mid 1970's a young, shy, and somewhat introverted high school farm boy from Iowa got the opportunity to become a Rotary Youth Exchange Student. The first airplane trip of his life was half way around the world to Perth, Western Australia. His goal was to see the world, and through his exchange he got that. The Rotarians' goal was to improve world peace and understanding, and they too got that. | |
VOLUNTEERS - where would this world be without them? 1,000's of hours are donated and dedicated to our communities each year by "volunteers" or almost volunteers to make our communities better or at least to make a few lives better. Men and women that I call almost volunteers like our "paid call" firefighters, local Park, Library, Planning commissions, Board of Appeals, Board of Review and others may receive a small per diem or other pay but it does not cover their time and expenses typically. I read recently that "A Volunteer is someone that does not get paid- not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless." Erma Bombeck said "Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nations compassion, unselfish caring, patience and just plain love of others." Does that describe people you know or who live in your neighborhood? Do you see them when you drop your kids or grandkids off at scouts, church or school? Do you recognize them - our community is full of silent selfless servants. Tell them thanks next time you see them- it may be the first time in months. Can you imagine what a sad community and nation we would have without our uselfish servants, our voluteers? | |

Recently, Davisburg Rotary Club contributed a ShelterBox to the global Haiti relief effort. Several members have funded a 2nd ShelterBox. Over 13,000 ShelterBoxes (homes for 130,000 people) have been committed to Haiti. Each ShelterBox costs $1000 including shipping to Haiti. Each green box includes a 10 person tent, 10 sleeping bags, a stove, cookware, tools, etc. Click on the arrow on the image below to watch a slideshow images from ShelterBox's response to the Haiti Earthquake.

Incoming Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith said "Blessed are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true" (enfice added). I first heard those words several weeks ago and again last Saturday but it took a while to sink in. Are our dreams worth paying for? How much would you pay to see your dreams come true? As Rotarians we dream of a world free of Polio, a world where no child dies from contaminated water or malnutrition and a world at peace. As Rotarians we dream of communities with adequate parks, well stocked libraries, tree lined streets and all residents having enough to eat and proper medical care. Those are but a few of Rotarians dreams. Rotary Clubs, Rotarians and friends of Rotary world wide have shown a willingness to pay the price to make their dreams come true time and time again. No you do not have to be a Rotarian to dream dreams but it helps with dreams as large as the eradication of Polio. What about you and I and our dreams for our community? Are we willing to pay the price to make them come true? The answer has to be yes because our community deserves no less. |
