🌐 This is a time when Rotarians focus on fostering high ethical standards in business and professions, recognizing the worthiness of all occupations, and using their vocational talents to serve society. 🤝 Vocational Service is a shared responsibility between Rotary Clubs and their members. Clubs implement these objectives through community actions and projects, while members conduct themselves and their businesses according to Rotary principles and support the club's Vocational Service projects. 🏆 This month is an opportunity for Rotarians to engage in discussions and activities that develop their ethical consciousness and vocational skills, both within Rotary and in their communities. It's a chance to kick off year-long projects that celebrate and promote vocational excellence and service. Join us in celebrating Vocational Service Month! #RotaryClubBarrie #Barrie #Rotary
