Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things. Peter Drucker
July is Leadership month for Rotarians around the world and I can’t think of another word that better describes the Rotarians that I know. When I think of our club and the many projects that I’ve seen take place since I joined in 2004 that raised money or helped others in need I think of Rotarians taking the lead …mulch at the Hillside School, feeding East Penn students, planting trees, helping at the Miracle League games, flags in our community, dog walking, raffles, Halloween parade help, weeding at the Remembrance Garden, running seven fundraisers, and the list goes on. Sometimes it’s a person or persons with a vision who makes it into a reality such as creating a memorable Passing the Gavel ceremony or facilitating a Fellowship FunWay Speech Picnic. Who did these things…yes, leaders in our Club.
Perhaps the key leaders in our club are the Committee Chairs because that’s where the behind the scenes work gets done in an organization of almost 100 members. Our Committee Chairs do an awesome job keeping us focused on what’s important and getting things done not for any glory, but, with the knowledge that their efforts are helping people locally and globally. Many thanks for their day to day and week to week leadership of the many small things that make our organization so successful.
Let’s keep up the great work!
ERC President Mike Waddell
