Nick's Notes:


Not a lot of exciting happenings in the life of yours truly this week.  A friend and I went to the Greek festival in Norwalk. Called a 'feast', like all the other feasts it was a circus and a boutique mall combined. The band played for three hours non stop. The greek dancing was very attractive and so were the girls.  I saw one of 'em looking at her I phone while she was dancing.  

Let's see. I am off to England next Sunday to help Boris sort of Brexit. As things stand with my dual nationality, I can without letter or hindrance, travel though most of Europe. This may change if Boris doesn't sort it out properly. The pound is rather low at the moment so perhaps I can pick up some cheap fish and chips. 

Oh. I did go to the Hudson Yards last week and was fit enough to walk up the famous tower. The new modern art gallery called The Shed was well worth the visit.

Westport Sunrise Rotary Club Board Meetings
Usually the first Tuesday of the month 5:30-7PM in Town Hall Room 201.  All are welcome.  
Rotary's commitment to Service Above Self has been channeled through the Avenues of Service,  which form the foundation of club activity. Club Service (Fun,  Fellowship and Fundraising)  Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.

Vocational Service (Four-WayTest)
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.

Community  Service  (Charitable Giving and Hands-On)  Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.

International Service (International Projects and PolioEradication)
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to Polio Plus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.

New Generations Service ( Rising Young Voices)
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA Rotaract and Interact club service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.
