CLUB BULLETIN Jan15, 2012
"Everybody can be great.
Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to
serve.
You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve ...You
don't have to know the second
theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full
of grace. A soul generated by love."
-Martin Luther king,Jr.
FIVE POWERFUL REASONS FOR
BELONGING TO ROTARY
1.
Friendship
In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: the
need for friendship and fellowship.
It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
2.
Business Development
The second original reason for Rotary's beginning is business development. Everyone needs
to network. Rotary consists of
a cross section of every business community.
Its members
come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other.
3.
Personal Growth and Development
Membership in Rotary continues one's growth and education in human relations and personal
development.
4.
Leadership Development
Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is
like a college education. Leadership:
learning how to motivate, influence and lead
leaders.
5.
Citizenship in the community
Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary club
consists of the most active
citizens of any community.
Yes, I am
interested in learning more about Rotary and becoming a member.

On the corner of Marguerite

Viejo and
the Rotary Club of Mission Viejo.
Ziggy did so much for
the
City and the honor is very
fitting. Mayor, and Rotary club president, Dave Leckness, was
instrumental
in providing this honor for
one of Mission Viejo’s finest residents.

included: Dave Leckenss, Steve Mugg, Norm Syler, Bob
McQueen, Ann Hagerty, Sarah

Re port and photos by Jim
Hansen
On Saturday, October 22,
2011 the Rotary Club of Mission Viejo prepared 1,500 FREE hotdogs
for the walkers in the City
of Mission Viejo’s 23rd Annual Walk Against Drugs and Community
Fair. Thousands of students and their families walked
from Mission Viejo High School to the Norman P. Murray Community
Center in support of the city’s Walk Against Drugs.
The event highlights National Red Ribbon Week to celebrate living a
healthy lifestyle staying away from drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
From its inception, Mission Viejo Rotarians have participated in the MV
Walk Against Drugs. Actually, Rotarian Bill Craycraft,
former Mayor of MV, was instrumental in starting the MV Walk Against Drugs
23 years ago. This year, from 7 to 10:30 a.m.,
club members and friends prepared 1,500 FREE hotdogs. When
participants in the Walk arrived at the MV Rotary booth behind the
Norman P. Murray Center, Rotarians began handing out hotdogs. In
fifteen minutes the dogs were gone - and so were the
3,000 packets of ketchup, mustard and relish! Event coordinator for
the MV Rotary Club, PP Rick Murray, said,
“We had all the help we needed this year to get the job donewhile
having a great time!”

that way there would be improvement in attendance.

The Test
Click here for Story of the 4 WayTest
Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the
TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR
to all concerned?
3. Will it build
GOODWILL
and
better
FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be
BENEFICIAL
to all
concerned?
To some their Rotary membership is almost
the most precious thing in life.
Why this affection for Rotary? It is the love of man for his fellow man. When
stripped of all formalities and creeds, fellowship flourishes. Rotary draws no
lines of politics or religion, Mohamedans, Budhists, Christians and Jews, break
bread together in happy fellowship.
From My Road to Rotary by Paul P Harris, Founder
