“Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in the world and you don’t, then you are wasting your time on earth.”
– Roberto Clemente
 
I really enjoy the meetings when we have new member induction and Paul Harris awards.  A big welcome to Eileen and Keith as our newest Rotarians and more hands to do more service work in our club…yay!  This is also another indicator that we have survived the pandemic and are starting to thrive with new members, service projects and fellowship events.
 
It’s membership and new club development month so, once again, a reminder that we are all Finders.  We all know good people who would make good Rotarians so please use the referral form, send it to Courtney or Wade and the Recruiting Team will spring into action.
 
I also want to give a big thank you to the DEI working group that has put in many hours discussing what our club looks like now and how we can become more diverse in different ways going forward.  Next week’s presentation will be a report to the membership about the findings and recommendations of the working group so please make sure to be at BCC or tune in remotely. Also, as Finders we need to keep the chart of diversity examples in mind and now, per the working group’s April 22 discussion, the Peter Jones overview, and the DEI presentation, we should start to look for speakers who can continue to broaden our thinking about many different topics and ways for us to serve both locally and globally.
