People of Action January 2021
What holds us together are Rotary’s Core Values.
 
Research Professor Brene Brown describes value as a way of being or believing that we hold most important.
 
These are Rotary’s core values:
Fellowship – the relationships and friendships that connect us all.
Integrity – when we choose what is right to do, not necessarily what may be easy.
Diversity – all people are welcome and valued to be part of our fellowship.
Service – the actions we take to help others.
Leadership – we show our leadership when we bring people together to act in service.
 
Living into our values means that we do more than profess them, we practice them.   The Rotary "People of Action" Stories being shared this year in the monthly videos show how we practice them in our District.  This month we thank DGE Bob, DGN Len and Diane DGND for sharing their stories.  We thank you for your leadership!

People of Action December 2020
The friendships and fellowship we enjoy as Rotarians continue to support the work of Rotary in our Clubs, District and around the world.   Watching the monthly videos and hearing People of Action stories, we realize the power of connection that continues to inspire us all.  I encourage you to take some time during this holiday season, and as we begin 2021, to reflect on your Rotary life and the opportunities it has given you.  Wishing you a most joyful holiday season!
