Rookie Report: RI's World Peace Fellows
Editor's Note: We ask our newest members to complete a checklist of things that will help them connect to our club and our organization; one requirement is to connect with Rotary International through the Rotary.org website and to write something for the newsletter about what they found. Rookie Faye Orick sent the following brief.
I constantly learn new things about Rotary and I am amazed at all the great things that are being done through the world to help others by this great organization.
I found on the international website that the Rotary Centers for International Studies offers up to 110 World Peace Fellowships annually through eight leading universities. This is a wonderful program designed to help the individuals chosen to have a significant, positive impact on world peace and conflict resolution during their careers. I am honored to be a part of this great organization. -- Faye Orick EClubOne Increases Knowledge, Expands Horizons for Rotarians
Editor's note: ORBRC's PR chair Courtney Henry's schedule has been crazy lately, but it's given her the opportunity to visit one of Rotary's many "online" clubs. What follows is her report of a recent visit to the site.
20th Anniversary of popular Rotary KidsOut Day I really enjoyed reading about the 20th Anniversary of Rotary KidsOut Day. This is the largest day out for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. More than 28,000 children and their parents or guardians were taken on trips across the UK.
WOW! Talk about impact! As a member of the board of directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters, this was incredible for me to read about. If I ever visit the UK I would love to visit a Rotary Club there since it seems that one of their main focuses is also a passion of mine.
ShelterBox Shipments to Pakistan Reading about the ShelterBox tents sent to Pakistan was interesting to me as well. The article says that Rotary eClub One has committed $25,000 to this effort.
The article includes photos of the ShelterBoxand they are incredible...they hold a 10-person tent, a practical tool kit, water containers, thermal blankets and ground sheets and cooking equipment.
So many of us take for granted the "luxuries" we have in our lives, and seeing how what would seem like so little to us, but is everything to those who have been displaced by war, is a good reminder to remember our blessings.
Going for It
I always enjoy the articles written by Michael Angier. He is definitely someone I would like to hear speak if I had the opportunity.
"Going for It" starts by saying, "Most people look to avoid risk...the greater risk is not going for it. " I am a very conservative, risk-averse person so I know there are probably things I have missed out on in my life by not taking a risk and stepping out of my comfort zone.
Angier writes that in his studies of great men and women he has learned that they really weren't that different from everyone else...not necessarily more talented, etc... but what sets them apart is that their desire to accomplish what they wanted to accomplish was more important to them than their own doubts and fears.
This is important to remember. Anything we ever really want, is rarely the easiest thing to come by.
When you take risks sometimes you get burned, but if you don't, you will never reap the rewards. -- Courtney Henry
