Vocational service can be hard to define, but it is easy to describe: It is simply the point where our Rotary lives and our professional lives intersect. When we put our Rotary ideals to work through our work, that is vocational service.

The question we face almost from the time we are old enough to talk is 'What do you want to be when you grow up?" 

It's a question most often put to us by our parents, teachers, and friends. When we are young, we are content to keep our answers pretty vague or even whimsical. When I was 10, I wanted to be a Cowboy Astronaut Zookeeper!! Sometimes I wish I was one, if only to see the look on the face of Rotarians who ask me what my vocation is. 

 

 

 

“I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse!” Central Lakes (Pequot Lakes) Rotary Club Foundation Chair, Diane Collins, challenged club members to contribute $100 or more in the month of December to The Rotary Foundation, and the club would give a 3 to 1 match with Recognition Points.  From that challenge, 6 Rotarians in Central Lakes Rotary Club received their next Paul Harris recognition.
