June 10, 2013: Rotarians at Work

June 10, 2013 was an "outside clean up" meeting at the club.

Lured by the prospect of Joe Garner's famous hot dogs, the club members clipped (Winston), swept (Hal & Steve), trimmed (Bevin), powerwashed (Pam), hauled (Joe), and otherwise worked on the exterior of the building. We thank Amos and Derryl for dropping by!

Isn't it funny how good food tastes when you've been working hard outside?

The Fun of Rotary International Conventions

Past Pres. Pam Wall

The June 3, 2013 Meeting of the Newport Rotary Club had a program by Rotarian Pam Wall on the Fun and Value of Attending Rotary International Conventions.

An eight-time Rotary International Convention attendee, since 2001 Pam has attended conventions in San Antonio, Barcelona, Osaka, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Los Angelos, Montreal, Bangkok, and will be attending the upcoming Lisbon Convention.

According to Pam, the fun of attending conventions is meeting the people from different cultures, all who have shared goals relating to their Rotary membership.

For Pam, the value of attending conventions is a renewal of her drive to make the world a better place through her Rotary membership, seeing everyone pulling in the same direction, and validating why she became a Rotarian and remains a Rotarian.

Maher Saikali hosted a great meal. The meeting was well attended.

Larry's Married
