As a club leader, what does being a Rotarian, and “person of action” mean to you? Click on the link to watch the video and write a comment by double clicking anywhere on the canvas.

Sometimes you make mistakes, but you get help, learn and keep going. We are all trying our best to make a difference, so it's OK to not get it right the first time, as long as we are trying to improve and do better. ]]> 2018-09-27 19:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/286715441 amy_sullivan1 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/286716510 Ouch! This hits home because I try to do so much. I often have to choose among the many things I want to do. I'm in Rotary because I want to make a difference in my community. I don't always feel like going to meetings or events, but I show up because I have made a commitment to my club and to the community. I choose to show up instead of doing something else with my time. ]]> 2018-09-27 19:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/286716510 amy_sullivan1 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/286718396 I really like this video. I feel like it describes me as a Rotarian because I do look for ways to respond to challenges in our community and I work with others in my club to come up with ideas and then work to address the challenges. ]]> 2018-09-27 19:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/286718396 dgaiser08 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/287436746 It's amazing how the Rotarians could envision such remarkable transformations to best meet needs of their communities!

We are so prone to self criticism that we miss the good that we do! AT LEAST WE'RE OUT THERE DOING!

Life does interfere with our plans; however, constant excuses belie a true lack of priority. Does Rotary hall into this category?

Rotary is awesome, and very relevant today. It’s been said that Rotary is the best kept secret. That must be changed!]]> 2018-10-03 13:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/288626063 amy_sullivan1 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/288898848 Great idea, Dick! Collaboration between clubs is great - one of the clubs in our district invited several clubs to work with them on a project last year. Only a few members from our club could go, but with reps from several other clubs we were able to get the job done and it was wonderful to work side by side with and get to know different Rotarians from our district. ]]> 2018-10-03 21:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/288898848 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/289318506 This speaks to me and the current rut that my club is in.  We are fairly new so service projects and events require creativity and a lot of sticking your neck out.  Many of our current members keep requesting more projects and events, but we have low attendance at them and it is the same core planning group that shows up.  My challenge will be to energize and instill passion in the membership to not just want to do more, but to actually do more.

Your comment reminds me of the People of Action campaign message -- that Rotarians give mainly by giving of themselves. We don't just donate money. We also donate all that you mentioned: sweat equity, time, talent, etc. ]]> 2018-10-05 20:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/289816282 JulaB https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/289827366 I said it in each of my club visits this year that Rotarians are not dreamers or seekers we are doers and we get the jobs done...together. We need more of our clubs thinking globally as well as locally and partnering with clubs around the globe on projects utilizing our global grants to enhance our abilities. ]]> 2018-10-05 21:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/289827366 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/290491974 Claudia McCaskill]]> 2018-10-08 20:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/290491974 https://padlet.com/amy_sullivan1/iwttlny309hc/wish/290814086 One Person can make a difference.
