Rotary Awareness

January is Rotary Awareness Month. Rotary's strength lies in the more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in 200 countries and geographical areas. It is a time for all Rotarias to reflect on the Object of Rotary...to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster First: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service
Second: High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society
Third: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life
Fourth: the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

 Happy New Year!

Rotary Club of Sedona Members have many projects "on the burner" for 2012.  Our focus on youth will be highlighted at January's Rotary Youth Leadership Award camp in Prescott, Arizona.  The New Generations Committee is putting final touches on the far- reaching Imagination Library project scheduled for a Spring Launch.  And all club members are gearing up for the second annual Great Sedona Chili Cook-Off on May 5, 2012.  These and many more projects are made possible by Rotary and community volunteers.

If you are a visiting Rotarian,  make up at our club on Tuesday noon at Barking Frog Grille, 2620 West State Route 89A, Sedona. We have a great group and have interesting fun-filled programs. Bring a banner if you have one. If not, you may become part of the fun!
