HI… (let’s show them that hard work pays off)

Toastmaster Member and a ROTARY Member…

First… Let me tell ya about TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL…

I am enhancing my Leadership Skills with Toastmasters!

YOU CAN GROW 2!

Learn about the professional and leadership skills that can be acquired by being a member in the Toastmaster International Organization with a hometown atmosphere…

MY CLUB IS LOCATED IN ELIZABETHTOWN, PA

AND NOW… Let’s talk about ROTARY INTERNATIONAL…

ROTARY

“Service Above Self”

I am the Grant Co-Chair… (ALSO ON EXECUTIVE BOARD at Elizabethtown, PA)

BUT, I AM NOT DONE DISCUSSING TOASTMASTERS…

AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN WITH TEAMWORK

AND NOW, I AM The Vice President of Public Relations of our Toastmaster Club in Elizabethtown PA

BTW – THAT CLUB IN ELIZABETHTOWN WAS HONORED BY THE DISTRICT LAST YEAR…

I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT A ROTARY CLUB IS A GOOD WAY TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY… Well…

MY CLUB IS SELLING CHRISTMAS TREES AGAIN!!!

These Clubs can also do good for the world.

AND NOW… I want to share some volunteering pictures of me with you…

On 11/12/2022, I helped plant some trees in the Community that I grew up in… Hershey, PA…

ON 9/21/2022, I HELPED AT THE CENTRAL PA FOOD BANK

ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE, MY ROTARY CLUB (w/ me) HELPED HARVEST 999LB OF TOMATOES AND POTATOES FOR FOOD BANKS AROUND WITTEL FARM ON 8/20/2022

During this, I broke my hand shovel digging for potatoes. Thank God, Pastor Matt had a plow on his tractor. I followed Him.

AND NOW… I am reminded how beautiful life is!

I understand that I am blessed… I took my AWESOME CHARACTER and volunteered to help setup for the Market on Chocolate Ave. in Hershey, PA on 8/13/2022…

I REALLY AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE MET SOME AMAZING PEOPLE IN MY LIFE… (this is a picture of a Volunteering Event in HERSHEY on 7/16/2022)

People & Team work is AWESOME! (EXAMPLE BELOW)

MY GYM ROCKS!!!

I DID…

AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN WITH TEAMWORK…

THEN…

On June 1st volunteered with my ROTARY club at the Central PA Food Bank.

The next day I volunteered for their Golf Major… I learned a lot that day from my fellow witness (WE WITNESSED SHOTS ON THE GREEN) at the 11th green…

THE WEATHER IS NOT ALWAYS NICE WHEN BEING A PERSON OF INTEGRITY…

On May 7 2022… I volunteered for the Hershey Artfest…

IT WAS A RAINOUT.

On 4/11/2022…

I got my Paul Harris Fellow pin and Certificate

This pin and Certificate symbolize an appreciation from Rotary International for tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples of the world.

I AM PROUD TO BE APART OF SUCH A GREAT ORGANIZATION

I think, I will donate that Food this morning to the Community Cupboard… 4/9/2022…

I did…

DECEMBER WAS COOL… I VOLUNTEERED AT THE HERSHEY HISTORY CENTER AND WAS A TRAIN ENGINEER AND GREETER. (12/24/2021 – Christmas Eve)

Went from Planting Trees to selling them… some of these trees are HUGE… I had AWESOME time helping set up and positioning those trees… 11/26/2021 & 11/27/2021… (very humbling)

HANDED OUT FOOD IN DOWNTOWN LANCASTER. 11/22/2021

PLANTED TREES 11/14/2021 AT SHANK PARK

HAD A BREAK FROM VOLUNTEERING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS… SORRY.

Volunteered July 3rd for #teamkevin at The Wittel Farm. Discovered that they got enough donations to buy a walk-in fridge.

I MUST SAY… 2 WEEKS AFTER THIS I VOLUNTEERED IN ELIZABETHTOWN PA TO HELP PAINT AN OUTDOOOR SKATING RINK…

In addition, I volunteered for the GOLF MAJOR held June 10th for my ROTARY CLUB…

My HEART…

Volunteered for the United Way on June 4th at the home opener for the Lancaster BARNSTORMERS.

I VOLUNTEERED AT WITTEL FARM ON MAY 1ST, 2021. I PLANTED CABBAGE THAT WILL LATER BE DONATED TO LOCAL FOOD BANKS IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, USA.

(A resounding “Thank you” from me… I am so excited that people reminded me that I wasn’t alone.LET ME EXPLAIN…It was 1/22/2021… I wanted HCW to Donate some Teddy Bears to the Hershey Bears for their annual Bear Toss.WITH THE LITTLE NOTIFICATION THAT I GAVE TO UPPER MANAGEMENT… my idea came to fruition!)
