Steffan
Clements, Bellevue, WA
Relief
Efforts Around the World
Steffan definitely had that pivotal moment in his life when he was
called to action. Twenty-five
years in the mortgage banking industry during the worst financial
crisis in recent years brought a new chapter to his life.
Feeling a desire to “be a part of it”, he joined others from
his Antioch Bible Church to become involved in relief efforts around
the world. Steffan volunteered
his time and efforts in Haiti to provide medical and dental relief to
the Haitian population. No
easy thing putting together a portable dental office and transporting
it to Haiti. Just try that and
find out how difficult it can be to work with the TSA.
After getting clearance to board the aircraft, Steffan and
others on the team were on their way to Haiti to serve.
Imagine doing extractions, giving restorative
care, providing fluoride, cleaning, oral hygiene and assistance to a
poor population. This is quite
a feat for a small medical team from Seattle.
Easy though when you “feel called”, as Steffan and others doing
mission trips well know. Another
wonderful example of Service Above Self.
Thank you Steffan. Our meeting would not have been complete without
our invocation from Charlie Russell.
Today’s thought:
If you want to go fast…go
alone.
If you
want to go far…go together.
That’s Rotary in a nutshell.
Thank you for this
opportunity to serve as your Rotary Reporter. Susan Webster
No other club than say it: Woodinville Rotary Club is the only club in District 5030 which stretches from Edmonds to Auburn that can boast having TWO assistant governors and a past assistant district governor among our members. In July, Chris Boland will enter his second year of a three-year stint and Alex Hopkins, top dog in Rotary Academy, will become an assistant district governor in the new Rotary year. Roger Martindill has served in the same capacity and also was the district secretary for a term. Chris and Alex were in attendance at a weekend training seminar for presidents-elect. Their primary duty was to participate in a parade of flags of the 173 countries in which Rotary is active.
Dictionaries in February will get a plug in the Reporter newspapers.
