A Message for Club President Jay Holmes October 2011
"Reach Within to Embrace Humanity" is this year's Rotary International theme, brought to us by our Rotary International President Kaylan Banerjee. It is an appropriate theme for an organization that asks it's members for "Service Above Self." Manteca Morning Rotary is, ounce for ounce, a shining example of the theme. What we need to be is a "pound to pound" example.
We are in need of a few dedicated individuals who are willing to push their boundaries of service. This month the club will serve a BBQ lunch to the handicap adults at Manteca Capps and work at the East Union cemetery. Just like Paul Harris, our founder, a hundred and six years ago, we form a fellowship devoted to service and ethics in our vocational efforts. Whether working alongside or in business dealings, having a Rotary connection benefits us in deep ways. For when we truely "Reach Within," we discover our humanity and connect with all mankind.
Thanks for all you do in Rotary,
President Jay
