Changes Come

It is already the tenth month of the year. Boy have things changed in the last four months. In July 2010 I made that BIG leap, I committed to being a Rotarian.
  My sponsor a former student invited and encourage me to give through Rotary instead of just giving. I agreed.  As soon as I was in the door, I was challenged to become the Chair for International Services/Rotary Foundation. I raised to the challenge.
  First challenge get a young lady through to an Ambassadorial Scholarship.  How do you work with a name without a face? You communicate.  And that is just what we did Communicate. A few weeks later she made it in and is now awaiting her final answer to study law.
  Second order of business get to a two day Leadership workshop in another city [Saturday/Sunday] . So, it was rush on Friday after five PM packed and do some house hold chores, and get to be early for a 7AM flight the next morning. Airport to Workshop until 4PM and the back the next day. At 5AM Monday morning back to the airport and from there drive 22 miles to work...That is what is calls for "Service above Self".
 This is only the beginning..Now it is learn, learn, learn and apply to make life better for those nationally and internationally and I am have a 'blast' as I do so.
  To serve is truly what brings 'JOY'.
