Being a Member of Rotary means you are part of something big! Your service can stretch from your zip code to anywhere in the world you find the passion to serve.
In August I received an email from, Araceli Hernandez Mejia, Secretary of the Camelinas Rotary Club in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that our very own Alicia Ruiz-Orbin had been honored as the Camelinas Club's Woman of the Year! Last Thursday Emmaus Rotary had the opportunity to formally congratulate Alicia on her recognition. At our meeting I shared the letter below because it is important to learn how much impact one person can have in the world.
Alicia is truly an inspiration to me, and I hope that each person reading the Trumpet today will take a few minutes to read about just some of the work that Alicia has done through her 30 years of Rotary Service. I hope that it inspires you to take action in some way to be the good you want to see in the world.
Thank you for being an outstanding humanitarian, Alicia. Your work has touched MANY lives. It is a privilege to serve in Rotary alongside of you.
See the Good. Be the Good. Inspire Good in Others
Shine Bright!
Shine Bright!
