Welcome to Highlands Rotary Club. District 9210. Our tagline is "SERVICE ABOVE SELF" We are a 100% voluntary organization. Everything we do is on a voluntary basis. The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular to encourage and foster: FIRST - The development of acquintance as an opportunity for service. SECOND - High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarians's occupation an an opportunity to serve society. THIRD - The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business and community life. FOURTH - The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. Here is a Four Way Test of the things we think, say and do. 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Our commitment extends past the perimeters of the projects we lead and expands into the communities we serve. Here’s a snapshot of ‘things lately!’

Reflecting on my time at the Georgetown Volunteer Fire Department, I realize I don't have many videos to look back on. Surprisingly, I stumbled upon this one, capturing my first flashover training and my first time stationed at the nozzle. As I stepped into the intense heat of the container, my senses were overwhelmed. My heart pounded so loudly I couldn't hear anything else, and the scorching temperatures between 900 and 1500 degrees Fahrenheit made it feel like my bones were melting. With a crew of three behind me, relying on my judgment when oxygen was introduced to the container, the pressure was palpable. In the heat of the moment, I made a critical error. If not for the well-trained, trusted crew by my side that day, we might not have made it out. That experience taught me a profound lesson: above all else, trust binds a team together. It's the cornerstone of effective collaboration, ensuring that even in the most challenging situations, we can rely on each other to navigate safely through the flames. I want so badly to be part of a volunteer department, to rock turnout gear once more and proudly answer to the nickname "twig20" someday. #firefighter #volunteer #training #teambuilding #trust

Having an Advertorial in a magazine is a GREAT way of: a) showing your ideal client you know what they need to make life easier b) writing a story 'linking' to the benefits of your thing c) getting your reviews right under the reader's nose Anyone can scribble one, but writer beware... ...go in like a bull in a china shop and it's unlikely your phone will ring with a buyer - maybe a toe-dipper. There's nothing wrong with admitting you need help constructing one of these. That's why, you're the boss and I'm the word boffin. -------------------------------- Know What Your Buyer Wants Space for 1 more client who realises they need to start getting ROI with their content & ads.

Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

Happy Labor Day weekend. Grateful to all those working around me. Over the course of a construction project, we come to know each other through work. We've shared snippets of our outside lives, but it's the physical act of work to bring two buildings together, piece by piece. It's skills acquired through years of practice. At its best, it's patience and perseverance. At it's worst it's exhaustion and carelessness. I found this writing today amongst my dad's belongings. I think it's difficult, but true. Work does not always have to be toil and a means to an end. It's a process, presence, purpose. Maybe we think of work as our vocations, but we labor at building ourselves as humans. We work at creating our families and communities. This upcoming week, in one Montana community, the cooperative work of dozens of people -- from different backgrounds, countries, and political beliefs, results in twenty-five new homes for people who need them. Proud and impressed by those impactful efforts of labor. #constructioniscool #seeconstructionprofessionals #luckytohavethem #respect
