'Service Above Self'
Do you participate in 'Service Above Self?’ There are many service clubs throughout the world that would welcome your presence. I chose to join a Rotary Club in San Diego, CA in October 1991. When I reach out to others through my Rotary activities, it feels soulful, because making others happy makes me feel good about myself. To build a school, provide a micro loan, buy a child a book, drill a well. And then you come to realize that we all need each other. Happiness through altruism . . . what a concept!
