One of my three key focus areas is to "To engage with the New Generations and create a greater awareness of Rotary among our students and our young people". Hawera Rotary Club are doing just that. Here is a extract from their latest Bulletin.
"President Peter has expressed a wish to build ties with youth to cultivate future members and become rejuvenated by the energy and new perspectives that young people have to offer. Directors discussed this and agreed to remove a barrier of cost by agreeing to pay for meals for any youth that are encouraged to attend our meetings. The facts are that young people are so interconnected and acutely aware of global issues. Many actively volunteer wherever they can and genuinely want to make a difference. Most are ambitious, are looking for mentoring and want to do what is right towards others. These last wants are where we as Rotarians can help." "They of course, will connect through their social networking systems and we can show them the way through our own website and RI New Generations website. We will them need to quickly find out and hit their areas of interest then guide and support them to achieve service projects of their choice." Abridged.
Fantastic. Well done Hawera.
