CLOSING
President-Elect Maryalice asked the club to recognize the hard work and dedication of these teachers, both to their profession and to their students, and the club responded with a standing ovation.
Maryalice then asked club members to think about their own actions: are you just a “knife and forker”, one who comes to eat but doesn’t get involved? Or are you an active committee member, working hard to further the Rotary ideal of service above self?
She asked committee chairs and members to stand and be recognized and encouraged all club members to be active participants in club activities and projects.
