"Seven
Habits Of Highly Effective Rotarians" #1) Attendance: They always make it a point to attend as many Rotary meetings of their clubs, and also of other clubs, as is possible. They also attend meetings of various committees of which they are members and even some others if they are invited. They are proud to attend the district assembly and the district conference every year. #2) Fellowship: They enjoy meeting other Rotarians. They often feel that in some of the Rotary functions, meeting and exchanging greetings with others is often as important as actual transactions of the meeting. They go out of their way to talk to those whom they do not know. Even outside Rotary, they enjoy meeting people and getting acquainted with them. #3) Vocation: They have respect for every vocation. They firmly subscribe to the view that each person should try to excel in whatever he is doing and try to help others to reach a higher level of efficiency in their work. #4) Discipline: They believe that no useful work can be achieved in a productive manner without discipline, both within and outside. They appreciate the value of self-discipline because they are aware that like charity, discipline begins at home. #5) Time, Money and Energy: They know that they are in Rotary for a purpose. They fully realize that they have to earmark a certain amount of time, money and energy for Rotary as a part of being a Rotarian. They also realize that they are members of a society where all these three items are to be shared for their vocation, family and the community. #6) Empathy: They put themselves in the position of the other person, especially if the other person is in difficulty. They know that mere sympathy is never enough. #7) Image Of Rotary: There may be moments when they feel that all is not right with Rotary. They may feel that there is “politics” in Rotary. They know that there are some elements in Rotary who should not be there. They, however, look at the good aspects of Rotary. In public and outside Rotary, they always make it a point to project the best face of Rotary. They would not like to let the public image of Rotary get tarnished. |

Spotlight On Service...Community Cleanup Each spring, the City of Vinita designates a Saturday as ‚ "Community Clean-Up Day". Rotarians volunteer their time to help pick up trash and use their trucks & trailers to haul off items for residents who are unable to do so themselves. What a perfect opportunity to practice our Rotary motto of SERVICE ABOVE SELF as we help others in our community! This year, Community Clean-Up Day is Saturday, May 1. Meet us in the parking lot next to the Chamber of Commerce office at 9:00 a.m. Bring your gloves and‚ you have them your pickup truck and trailer. 
A District Assembly shall be held annually, preferably in April or May, to develop Rotary clubs leaders who have the necessary skill, knowledge, and motivation to: sustain and/or grow their membership base; implement successful projects that address the needs of their communities and communities in other countries; and support the Rotary Foundation through both program participation and financial contributions. . . .The district assembly shall be planned and conducted under the direction and supervision of the governor-elect. . . Those specifically invited shall include the incoming presidents and the members of clubs assigned by the incoming president to serve in key leadership roles in the upcoming year.
