Engage Rotary, Change Lives Through Vocational Service

RI President Ron Burton is asking Rotarians to emphasize Rotary's unique commitment to vocational service by leveraging professional opportunities to Engage Rotary, Change Lives. Through vocational service initiatives, we can engage Rotary in our workplace. And by combining professional expertise and service, we can have a positive impact on local and international communities. Here are just a few ideas for activities your club can undertake:

• Start a career counselling or vocational training program and invite non-Rotarian community members to attend.
• Organise a discussion or workshop on workplace ethics and invite local non-Rotarian business leaders to attend.
• Sponsor a career day in which club members bring young people to their places of business to inform them about career opportunities.
• Nominate a member of your community for the District 9700 Vocational Service Excellence Award (nominations close with Peter Gissing on 31 October).

Completing one of these activities can help your club qualify for the 2013-2014 Presidential Citation.

SHARE YOUR CLUB SERVICE PROJECT

We would like to hear from Clubs telling us what they have done. Please include a summary (approx. 150 words), a couple of photos and contact details, and forward to DG Geoff at gjt@bigpond.net.au

Many thanks

DG Geoff Tancred
