District
Governor Visits
Assistant District Governor Jim Gascon introduced
2007-2008 District Governor Marlene Brown for her first official visit to our
at our Thursday, August 16, 2007 meeting.
Ms. Brown hails from Clinton, NY where she was born on
the homestead her family has occupied for more than 200 years. On the professional level, Ms Brown is
a former Senior English & Psychology teacher, and Syracuse University
Management instructor. She is the
founder/owner of two small companies and author of numerous books, articles and
leadership programs.
In 2001 Marlene was 1 of 20 recipients awarded the 1st
Central NY Outstanding Women in Business Awards. She is currently Executive Director of the Children's Museum
of History, Natural History, Science and Technology in Utica, NY.
Ms. Brown reminded us that we are part of a global family
of Rotarians, all of whom are so similar in so many ways. She reviewed the many programs of
Rotary which offer individuals of all ages an opportunity at local, national
and international service, including Early Act, Interact, Rotoract and Rotary
Youth Leadership Awards, among others.
She is calling on all groups in the District to achieve
Rotary’s goal of netting at least one new member in the coming year so our zone
can escape the dubious distinction of having the lowest membership levels in
the world.
Welcome
Dave Cutten!
A
special welcome to Dave Cutten who was inducted to our club Thursday, August
15, 2007. Dave applied for
membership pin our club and his application was accepted by the Board last
week. He has been a Rotarian and
member of the Auburn Rotary Club for many years and sought to transfer to our
club because his job has made attending Auburn’s lunch meeting difficult. Dave and his wife Deborah live on Lacy
Road in Mandana.
Rotary
Timeline – 1907
A simple donation of
a horse for a local doctor was Rotary’s first act of community service.
Shortly after, Rotary began its commitment to humanitarian service by
coordinating efforts to construct a public lavatory. As the club continues to grow,
it widens its scope beyond the professional and social interests of its
members; civic service takes a more prominent role in club activities. "In
common with my fellow members, I had learned to place emphasis on the giving
rather than the getting," Paul P. Harris, Rotary’s founder, would later
write. The ideals of Rotary begin to resonate outside Chicago, and by 1908, a
second Rotary club in San Francisco, California, USA, is chartered.
