FAMILY OF ROTARY
Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com
Purpose. Passion. Perserverance. According to Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, The Power of Passion and Perserverance, passion plus perserverance leads to success! Her book is well researched and enlightening. If you haven't read it, you should! If you are not a reader, she recorded this Ted Talk just for you.
This week, we will hear from Debbie Cwalina about her passion, Be THE Voice®, and meet a couple of students with Very Important Voices. Debbie and Michael Schoppenhorst's passion and perserverance have led to an amazing program that is changing the lives of young people in Roswell, Georgia and Florida. You won't want to miss this update on the Best Youth Service Project in District 6900--Be THE Voice!

P.S. For those of you interested in educating your children on wealth, Robert Balentine has shared his recent blog post with us. Click Here.
Born in our wonderful Rotary club back in 2014, Be THE Voice® became a 501(c)3 in 2017 to help support the growth of the program. BTV continues to provide schools with a truly unique peer-led campaign that helps students understand the “power of the Bystander” when witnessing difficult situations. Bullying, prejudice, exclusion, acts of hate… these are just a few of the issues facing students today. But in today’s world, one that is posted online for everyone to see, providing students with the communication skills to be upstanders in a safe manner is our primary mission! In many cases, all that is needed is a little kindness & compassion and things will change. Be THE Voice® is creating new student leaders every day by empowering them to make a difference in their school (and community), one “Voice” at a time! www.be-the-voice.org
Congratulations to PDG Bob Hagan for receiving the 2018-2019 Regional Polio Service Award! District 6900 raised a record amount to end polio thanks in large part to Bob Hagan's leadership!

District 6900 invites you to participate in the monthly fellowship, Rotary Means Business (RBM).
Here are 4 reasons why you need to attend:
PLUS: Think of the vendors you trust. Then invite 1 or 2 to the next RBM meeting. You'll be helping your vendor, and you may end up with a future Rotarian.
Join us on the 2nd Tuesday of the month (tonight), from 5:45 – 7:15p for quality networking.
