Vocational Service Month

The Declaration for Rotarians and Businesses and Professions

As a Rotarian engaged in a business or profession, I am expected to:

Consider my vocation to be another opportunity to serve

Be faithful to the letter and to the spirit of the ethical codes of my vocation, to the laws of my country, and to the moral standards of my community

Do all in my power to dignify my vocation and to promote the highest ethical standards in my chosen vocation.

Be fair to my employer, employees, associates, competitors, customers, the public, and all those with whom I have a business or professional relationship

Recognize the honor and respect due to all occupations which are useful to society

Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community

Adhere to honesty in my advertising and in all representations to the public concerning my business or profession

Neither seek from nor grant to a fellow  Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship

Tinnie, NM Outing

Builds Camaraderie

Several Club members and significant others met in Tinnie, NM for dinner September 24th.

According to event planner Gary Ryan, “We had a great time. The restaurant was beautiful and everyone got a talk on its history and a look around it. There was lots of fun gambling and plenty of stories to tell. Only, no one’s telling them so we’ll let the pictures do that!

Thanks again go to Gary for the work he did in planning this outing!
