Tom Simon, Governor of Rotary District 5520, will speak to the Silver City Rotary Club next Tuesday at noon. The district is comprised of 69 clubs in New Mexico and West Texas. Mr. Simon will discuss news of the district.
Tom believes that Rotary provides a unique platform for individuals to join with people who believe in Rotary tenets and the concept of "Service Above Self", to pool their resources, and apply their collective skills towards addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges, enabling them to achieve a greater positive impact together than they could ever accomplish alone. Tom believes that when Rotarians around the world and of diverse backgrounds, cultures, political and religious beliefs come together to serve the greater good, they move our world a little closer to peaceful coexistence and reconciliation.
The Rotary Club meets every Tuesday from 12-1 p.m. for lunch in the Silver Bowling Center. There is a brief "meet and greet", a short business meeting and then the speaker has the floor. The club welcomes members of the public to the meetings. Lunch is available in the grill.
Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Since its founding in 1923, the Silver City Rotary Club has provided support and service to numerous non-profit organizations and civic causes in Silver City and Grant County as well as supporting and participating in humanitarian projects sponsored by Rotary International.
