What is Rotary? Great question! If you see a diverse group of Business, Professional and Community leaders, with their sleeves rolled up, working hard to make the world a better place, and having fun while they are at it – THAT is Rotary.
Over the last 50 days, in Auckland, members of Rotary have stood up a life changing, residential, weeklong Personal Development Course for over 100 emerging business and community leaders, hosted a “Model United Nations” experience for high school students where they can develop skills to discover, consider, debate, compromise and build understanding, planted thousands of trees regenerating wetlands, creeks and hillsides across the region and distributed dictionaries and educational materials in person in Fiji, and that is just a sample of what is being achieved.
At the same time in hundreds of weekly meetings around town, members have come together, usually over a meal, and networked to develop and grow their business or organisation, heard a stimulating address from a world class thought leader or presenter contributing to their own personal and professional development. To cap it off, after all that, in numerous social events Rotarians have gathered, with their families, at social events where they forge and strengthen the bonds of friendship and enjoy great times.
THIS is Rotary! Achievers working together to make the world a better place, networking to develop themselves and their business or organisation and having a rock solid group of interesting caring mates. Want a slice of that? Find a club near you https://www.rotarydistrict9920.org/ClubDirectory
