Seven Habits of Highly Effective Rotarians
Posted
by Mel Stewart
on Mar 3 2008
Edmond Summit's commitment, energy and standards set by today's members remain just as strong today as with our original charter members in 1998. Edmond Summit is well known for its informative and fun-filled meetings. Our speakers, visiting Rotarians, and guests frequently comment about how much fun we have at our weekly breakfast meetings - which begin Tuesdays at 7:00 a.m. and end promptly at 8:00 a.m. with no exceptions.
The success of any Club rests on hard-working members who generously give their time and resources. Edmond Summit members collectively donate thousands of hours to Rotary each year, and it's this dedication that serves as a powerful force for good in the community.
