Today's work at Street Girls Aid with the leadership team was on messaging, mission and passion. We started the day with this question - "Please tell us about someone who made a difference in your life and what they did that made the difference" It was so moving that I would like to ask this same question to those who are reading this - and as you think about that person share the story with someone as a way of honoring that person. Thanks we are all just working to embrace humanity one person at a time!
Tonight PDG Cathy Smith and PP Kay Bliss and myself, PP Kathy Stutzman celebrated Rotary's 107th Birthday in true African Rotarian style complete with a 5 Club meeting that was planned to be 30 and had people flowing out the door at over 100, champagne, colorful African Rotary clothing - each year the District Governor designs a fabric based upon the theme for the year and Rotarians have clothing ...made of the District fabric - so it is very colorful and of course there was a birthday cake, fines for everything and some kind of raffle but I am not exactly sure what we were purchasing - our raffle ticket stated it was for a washing machine and dated 2008 - it was a good thing we didn't win, can't quite figure out how to get a washing machine into the overhead compartment. I was fined for taking pictures. We exchanged banners, laughed and of course, at the beginning of the evening the electricty went out. Really a great Rotary night.
