Making A Difference and Impact

Making A Difference Jesse Tam, we can all make a difference by our actions. It may be standing up for your rights and beliefs or remaining silent and do absolutely nothing and be passive. The choices are yours, but your decision can create an impact on others whether it is in the professional world or volunteering.

Are you a leader or follower, take action or make the decision.  What are your intentions as a leader?  What goes around comes around and may will follow you throughout.  Every good deed will bring rewards and those with ill-will will have it's making.

We are fortunate to have the Gates Foundation in Seattle. We were invited to view and join the campaign to help End Polio with our Rotary District Leaders during a reception presented at the Foundation's Visitor Center.  Their work and inspiration locally and worldwide will make an impact in our society. The campaign with polio vaccination in various countries so we can hope to become a polio free world.

Think about it, have you made a difference?  Have you given to others without expecting anything in return.  Have you spoken up for anyone or volunteered unconditionally?  "Teach others what you learn.  Use your creativity to help".



Fellowship with Rotary, District 5030

Our Rotary District held an event organized by Fellowship Chair in Seattle at the O'Asian.  We welcome the special visitors from Mexico City.  The fellowship was well attended with club Presidents, District Governor John Enger and his Leadership Team.

Prospective friends interested in Rotary chatted with club members discussing Rotary projects and volunteering opportunities in our communities. 

We exchanged stores, ideas and projects from each club with networking and happy hour cheers!  It was a relaxing evening of fellowship and attended by guests and prospective new members.

Rotary China Friendship Jesse Tam

Where should the  Rotary Tour begin?  Each time I returned from Asia or business, my friends and associates would say, "I want to see China with you".  They wanted to see for themselves the major changes and business developments.

 I couldn't possibly take each one to see the amazing places or experiences. That would take too many years or maybe even a decade.  The tour to  China begins from the gates of the Seattle International Airport to our first stop Beijing Capital International Airport.

It was a long flight to Beijing and we arrived  after 12 plus hours and connected with our other Rotarian joining us from Africa.  Ready to hit the road and venture into amazing China with so much to see and experience in just a short week. Feeling the jet lag, we had a few hours to rest and refresh ourselves before starting the afternoon city tour of Beijing.

There were two climbs at this sight, one was easier and the other steeper. One friend leading to another and we became a group of 27 Rotarians and non Rotarian friends. More to stories to come.
