TRUE TO YOUR VOCATION

Will you be part of the problem or the solution?

In Rotary, Vocational Month is sharing your vocation to the community. To contribute your vocational talents to the problems and need of the society is a noble thing to do. Rotary works beyond the call of their duty position and ...pocket.

Once you are in Rotary, Service Above Self in the community is very contagious. If you allow yourself to go in depth to really serve the community, you get addicted to it. It seems that your life is not complete if you have not done anything good for the day. Well, I can speak in behalf of the others who have been our partners in many ways— others who have been working so hard to bring help and projects, not only to urban areas, but most of the time, to the rural areas, too.

Rotarian Doctors for many times have to allow themselves to absent from their regular clinics to conduct medical mission to poor community. They are one of the modern heroes of this century. It is not an option, it a commitment and responsibility once you commit your heart into Rotary.

Joining an organization is not about position, it is about our role. On the other hand, you do not seek for position for instead position seeks you. So, whether you like it or not, in Rotary, it is a privileged to lead and to serve.

Likewise, Rotarians who are Lawyers, Teachers, Nurses, Government Employees, Businessmen, Engineers, Bankers, even Retired & Volunteers and the like are also sharing their vocation during Career Orientation Month for graduating college students.

This and many more are our part to reach out to the community. All these services do not ask something in return, only a wish to be part of the solution in our society.
