President's Message
PASSION!
Purpose. Passion. Perserverance. According to Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, The Power of Passion and Perserverance, passion plus perserverance leads to success! Her book is well researched and enlightening. If you haven't read it, you should! If you are not a reader, she recorded this Ted Talk just for you.
This week, we will hear from Debbie Cwalina about her passion, Be THE Voice®, and meet a couple of students with Very Important Voices. Debbie and Michael Schoppenhorst's passion and perserverance have led to an amazing program that is changing the lives of young people in Roswell, Georgia and Florida. You won't want to miss this update on the Best Youth Service Project in District 6900--Be THE Voice!

Tonight: For Rotarians trying to reach Small Businesses and Consumers locally
District 6900 invites you to participate in the monthly fellowship, Rotary Means Business (RBM). 
Here are 4 reasons why you need to attend:
- RBM brings Rotarians back to one of the founding Rotarian’s main emphasis: BUSINESS NETWORKING and strengthens our Vocational lanes
- RMB provides chances for expanded business and professional opportunities by bringing Rotarians together in a broader, cross-club social business-networking environment
- RMB provides a structure to bring business back into Rotary in a way that supplements rather than competes with the service and fellowship aspects of Rotary
- RMB provides opportunities for qualified guests to experience the value of Rotary, learn more about Rotary, and possibly becomes a Rotarian
PLUS: Think of the vendors you trust. Then invite 1 or 2 to the next RBM meeting. You'll be helping your vendor, and you may end up with a future Rotarian.
Join us on the 2nd Tuesday of the month (tonight), from 5:45 – 7:15p for quality networking.
