Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute


By Ian Kittle
We all choose to give back for different reasons.
And the avenues we choose to do so by are very personal decisions.
I spent many years of my life volunteering from coaching t-ball, to being a Beaver/Scout leader, joining Neighbourhood watch — to name a few.
When I was lucky enough to retire, I wanted to continue giving back to the community that I lived in. When my wife and I settled in Palgrave, I sought out the means to do just that.
I had my “check list” that I needed whatever service club I joined to meet . . . it went something like this:
1. I wanted to continue volunteering;
2. I wanted to volunteer in a different way than I had before;
3. We wanted to meet a new circle of friends;
4. I wanted to assume new responsibilities;
5. I wanted to feel good every time I came to a meeting.
With all the “checks” on my list taken care of, I know that — by my actions of joining Rotary and being an active, engaged Rotarian — I am making our community a friendlier and “gooder” place!
