AUGUST 29, 2017 MEETING: Waging Peace through International Volunteer Service

Global Volunteers is a worldwide network of local people, community leaders, volunteers, staff and board members committed to waging peace and promoting justice.

Our co-founders followed their vision of international volunteer service to create, nurture and sustain the well-being of the world’s children after a decidedly unconventional “volunteer honeymoon” in 1980.  Our community partners are devoted to delivering essential services to at-risk children and families. Most of our international volunteer service programs are led by country managers who were born and raised in the host country.  Our board members are passionate professionals from diverse fields with expertise in international volunteer service.  Our dedicated staff contributes deep international and development expertise to providing exceptional volunteer management.

Together, Global Volunteers partners, board, staff and volunteers work to wage peace and catalyze life-altering international volunteer service.

Caryn Sullivan : Practical aspects of legacy....then what.
Though she’d navigated life and death challenges, when Caryn Sullivan became a widow and single mother of a blended family of four, she was ill prepared. Now keenly aware that life is temporary, the recovering attorney, award-winning author and columnist, blogger, and inspirational speaker not only offers tools to help audiences plan for the inevitable, she urges them to evaluate whether they are living the legacy they hope to leave.
 
Caryn Sullivan had navigated childhood trauma, a blended family, autism, breast cancer, and a bone marrow transplant when she learned her husband had died at United Hospital, surrounded by strangers. Recognizing she could be bitter - or she could be better - she not only chose better, she resolved to help others to make the same choice. A recovering attorney and inspirational speaker, she shares her resilience expertise in her award-winning memoir, Bitter or Better, and oncarynmsullivan.com. The parent of an adult son with autism who lives in St. Paul, Caryn captained the Friends of Fraser St. Paul team in the recent WCCO Pulling Together Tug of War. She serves on the Fraser board of directors, a Masonic Children’s Hospital Advisory Committee, and the Spare Key advisory board.

Volunteer for Rotary Meeting Teams

Calling all Rotarians!

We are now moving into a new Rotary year and a big CONGRATS to our new President Jerry Faletti. Todd Nicholson is now taking over at Sergeant at Arms for club and will be lining up the volunteer roles for each meeting. Let’s help him get off to a great start and fill the schedule for the next couple months. 

We currently have openings for Greeters, Introducer of guests, Scribes, Giving the inspirational minute, and Leading song. Having these roles filled each week makes for a well run meeting and keeps us all active in the club.

So the answer to "how do I sign up to help out at a meeting?" is "click this link and sign up."

Attention new members: serving as a greeter and taking the microphone, either to offer the inspirational moment or to introduce guests and visiting Rotarians, is an excellent way to network and get your face in front of the club!

Thank you,

Jason Bradshaw
