What does being a Rotary member mean to me?
"Lots of thoughts come to mind. Great fellowship, networking and friendship building with local people from all professions and cultural backgrounds. It also provides me the opportunity to give back to the community with the numerous programs that we support. It forces me to get out of the office or "work-mode" and allows me the chance to learn from our great speakers, have fun with our great members and enjoy the best tasting lunch in Northeast Columbia. But most importantly it challenges me to carry forward the Rotary values outside of our meetings and into all other areas of my life. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 18 months as a member of SV Rotary Club and l plan on maintaining my membership for many many years to come."
