Valentine’s Day
February
14, 2013: Twenty plus Rotarians and guests
were present for the International Service Club Assembly, hosted by Director
Konrad Kempfe. We viewed videos from 3 different international projects – Sri Lanka
(where local Rotarians have built/rebuild 20 schools that were destroyed by the
tsunami), Paris, France(local clubs
devised a project that provided scholarships to young reporters, both allowing
them to find their vision as well as to become closely acquainted with Rotary
and Rotary International); and Brazil (where two local Rotarians designed and
built a school which also provides social services in and for the residents of
Rio’s poorest community with support from Clubs in Brazil and Germany). These
are the types of programs that make one proud to be a Rotarian. This was this
week’s Good News from Rotary. Brian Kelly, the Susquehanna
sophomore from Chambersburg who is interested in starting a Rotaract,
introduced himself to the members and shared how he about Rotary after receiving
an international exchange scholarship which allowed him to study for a year in Belgium.

the heart and penetrates your gizzard.”Anonymous
