If you're looking for an
organization that can benefit other
people as well as yourself, then maybe
four questions defining the things you
think, say or do can help you make your
decision.
Is it the
truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will
it build good will and better
friendships? Will it be beneficial to
all concerned?
These are
the four questions, coincidentally, that
members of the Kyrene Corridor Rotary
Club—and the other 1.2 million members
of 32,000 Rotary Clubs around the
world—are encouraged to ask themselves
daily.
The Rotary
Club gives members the chance to get
involved while helping other people.
Kyle Maki,
an active member of the Kyrene Corridor
Rotary Club since it was launched four
years ago, says Rotary gives people the
opportunity to form a strong social
network.
Now, it
turns out, is an ideal time to get
involved with the club.
Maki says
the club is still relatively new and it
is still a good time to get in the
ground floor of the group. The Rotary
year began on July 1. With a new year
brings in a new president, and fellow
Kyrene Corridor resident Carla Rowe is
ready to take helm of the group.
Rotary has
a reputation as being one of the leading
humanitarian and charitable
organizations in the world.
This year
alone, the Kyrene Corridor Rotary Club
has generously contributed to projects
including water supply projects in needy
areas, contributed scholarship funds to
students and assisted with fundraising
projects.
Rotary
helped out first hand with many local
groups such as Phoenix Rescue Mission
and served food to underprivileged
families.
Kyrene
Rotary meets at noon on Mondays at the
Olive Garden near Elliot and Hardy.
“The club
gives the members the opportunity to
meet with the group once a week,” Maki
said.
According
to Maki, the organization shouldn’t
appeal to just local business owners.
Home businesses, stay-at-home parents
and retirees are more than welcome to
join.
“We have
also broken the stereotype of the club
being a men’s club”, Maki said. “We have
a diversity of ages, jobs and
ethnicities among our members. Our
particular club has a reputation for
having a lot of energy.”
“The Kyrene
Corridor is full of decision-makers and
strong families. If we could get them to
focus some of their positive energy on
our club then we can go a long way,” he
said. “This is an excellent opportunity
to upgrade.”
