The Sincerity of Rotarians

"Improving quality of life locally and globally" is the vision of Rotary Club that hung on a banner at this morning's Rotary meeting. The vision of PIF runs parallel to this as we seek to "Improve quality of life across the globe." Giving presentations to local Rotary and Rotaract Clubs is the goal of PIF Adventures this month in an effort to get the word out to these socially conscious individuals.

I've spoken at two Rotary meetings this week, the first in Shoreview and the second in Maplewood. The thing that resonates most is the kindness of these people. Every individual greets me, makes me feel welcome, asks about PIFA with genuine interest, and makes sure I have everything I need to successfully give my presentation. They recognize their guests and invite them to eat first. Random individuals sat down and ate with me, striking up friendly conversation. It may seem like a formality, but the sincerity of it is what strikes me. Rotarians are sincerely good people.

For all Rotarians reading this blog, I say thank you for your support of PIF Adventures and keep up the good work in your community.
