THERE IS NO MEETING ON THE 28TH. CELEBRATE THANKSGIVINGS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. ENJOY!
Our guest speaker, Meghan Brett from UNM Health Services was ill and could not attend the meeting, Instead, Meredith and Jeff talked about their experience at the Bi-District Conference and pledging $1,000 to the San Juan Viego Children's Dining Room in Juarez. This facility provides warm meals, safety, structure, love and support and even help with homework for 50 children. They also provide other activities such as painting,music, dance and sports all with the focus of keeping the children away from crime and gangs. Meredith and Jeff also talked about the possibility of our club being the international club in Rotary Global Grant. Fernando, from the Dining Room, will attend our club meeting on the 14th and he can provide more information about the facility and their plans for global grant funds.
50 Things Every Rotarian Should Know About Rotary
8- FOUR AVENUES OF SERVICE
The term "Four Avenues of Service" is frequently used in Rotary literature and information. The "Avenues" refer to the four elements of the Object of Rotary: Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service and International Service. Although the Avenues of Service are not found in any formal part of the constitutional documents of Rotary, the concept has been accepted as a means to describe the primary areas of Rotary activity.
"Club Service" involves all of the activities necessary for Rotarians to perform to make their club function successfully.
"Vocational Service" is a description of the opportunity each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and utility of one's vocation to the other members of the club.
"Community Service" pertains to those activities which Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life in their community. It frequently involves assistance to youth, the aged, handicapped and others who look to Rotary as a source of hope for a better life.
The Fourth Avenue, "International Service," describes the many programs and activities which Rotarians undertake to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace. International Service projects are designed to meet humanitarian needs of people in many lands.
When a Rotarian understands and travels down the "Four Avenues of Service," the Object of Rotary takes on even greater meaning.
