Inbound Rotary Exchange Student, David Wu, from Taiwan spoke about his last week in review. Ellen Walker-Matthews spoke about the 5th Annual Giant's Head Grind - Christopher Walker Memorial Race. Registration is now open! Later on in the morning, Garry Hollingshead, spoke to the Club about January being Rotary Vocational Service month.
 
Vocational Service is one of Rotary's Avenues of Service that focuses on:
 
  • Adherence to and promotion of the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including fear treatment of employers, employees, associates, competitors, and the public.
  • The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, not just those that are pursued by Rotarians
  • The contribution of your vocational talents to solving the problems of society and meeting the needs of the community.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our morning breakfast meeting. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next meeting - an evening dinner meeting - on Tuesday, February 6th! See you then!
