OUR FIRST MONTH FEATURE:
"MY FAVOURITE MOMENT"
A favourite Rotary Moment from our District Governor Mark Chipman about Rotary's International Service Work.
MEMBER SINCE: 2006, Whitby Sunrise Rotary Club , 2020-21 District Governor
A FAVOURITE ROTARY MOMENT: My favourite Rotary moment came early in my Rotary journey when I attended my first Whitby Sunrise meeting (best invitation I ever accepted—thank you Kendra Edwards-Wilson
!). At this particular meeting, members spoke of their various projects in the Dominican Republic. As someone with a keen interest in travel and international work I was awestruck and knew I had to be a part of this amazing group of people. Here was an opportunity to get involved in international projects!
PERSONAL OUTCOME: Joining Rotary provided me with a channel to engage in international work. I have been fortunate to have travelled to Laos, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic to participate in humanitarian projects lead by inspirational Rotarians Steve Rutledge and Bob Jarvest.
Trips to the Dominican afforded me the opportunity to help with food drives and set up water filtration kits. Our connection with the Dominican continues each year as we help provide hot meals to a seniors residence, support students to complete their education, and supply hygiene kits for girls to ensure they don’t miss school. Without Rotary these opportunities to make a difference along with the many personal benefits I have realized may have never come my way!
