As I walked up to Lansing Brewing on a dismal rainy night after a long and busy day, I noticed the room for the Rotary Social Gathering. From the outside, it looked warm and inviting and made me want to walk a little faster to join the welcoming invitation the room sent me while approaching it. That moment made me realize how important Rotary is in terms of being a welcoming organization that connects people and opportunities in our community all in the spirit of making it a better place. You can just see it immediately.
After I walked in, that welcoming embrace carried through the entire time I was there. The social gatherings are such great ways to get to know fellow Rotarians that you may not have connected with before and learn new things about them. And, the food is pretty tasty too!
Our next opportunity to meet is at our Club meeting on Friday, February 2 at Lansing Community College. Our speaker will be Barbra Thumudo who is the Assistant Director of the Michigan State Capitol. Have a great week!
