Community Service When clubs complete effective service projects, they improve the community, bring people together, and reflect well on Rotary. When Rotary is viewed as a positive force in the community, its membership strengthens and grows, adding to the
organization’s ability to serve worldwide.

From Rotary International:
Vocational Service, one of Rotary’s Avenues of Service, encourages Rotarians to serve others through their professions and to practice high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations and inspire others in the process.
Observed each October, Vocational Service Month spotlights Rotary club projects related to this avenue, offering an opportunity for clubs and districts to use their professional skills in service projects.
QUIP OF THE WEEK:

From Rotary International:
Tents and shelters will be popping up all over England and beyond in support of ShelterBox, as the organization founded by Rotarian Tom Henderson launches Big Green Box Week 18-25 May.
ShelterBox is asking Rotarians to help promote the organization’s disaster relief work by holding a dinner party, organizing an auction, or pitching a tent¬†in their yards, among other ideas. A photo competition throughout the week will award prizes to the best picture in a variety of categories, including the¬†most innovative shelter, unusual place to pitch a tent, or most people gathered in a tent.
Big Green Box Week coincides with the launch of ShelterBox’s new partnership with the Scout Association, a move to expand the organization’s reach¬†and help it meet its goal of assisting 500,000 people a year by 2015. Supported by Rotary clubs around the world, ShelterBox has helped more than¬†800,000 people in 57 countries since its inception in 2000.
Rotarians have been a part of ShelterBox from the beginning. Henderson, a civil engineer and former search-and-rescue diver for the British Royal Navy, founded the organization with the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard, Cornwall, in 2000. Since then, more than 7,000 clubs have helped send boxes to disaster areas. Henderson will be a speaker at the 2009 RI Convention in Birmingham, 21-24 June.
