Demerie Hill Picks Up The Magic Pen
After six years as the Publicity Chair for the RB Sunrise Rotary, I have finally handed over my pen to Demerie Hill. Demerie, who joined the club just two months ago, has jumped right into the fray, introducing herself to area columnists and editors, and getting the word out about our club and all the great events we're doing. I, on the other hand, will now have more time to focus on this blog and other forms of electronic media, like our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=247469753192)
First up on her agenda - announcing the Distinguished Citizen Dinner for President-Elect Rick Coburn and our annual dictionary project, where we give away about 1,000 dictionaries to third graders at nine area schools.
Sorry, Demerie - didn't mean to scoop you! Looks like putting down the pen may be a little more challenging than I realized.

Welcome to RB Sunrise Rotary
I recently asked a new member of my Rotary Club - the Sunrise Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo, CA - to keep a blog of his activities as a Red Badge Rotarian. His postings will be found at www.redbadgerotarian.blogspot.com.
As a red badge Rotarian, Paul is going through all the first steps necessary to become a full-fledged Rotarian. The red badge is kind of like training wheels as he gets to know the ways of the world of Rotary International.
However, it strikes me that it's not really fair for me to ask him to go through this project unless I'm willing to do the same thing. Therefore, I have resolved to keep a blog of a year (or perhaps more) as a Rotarian, and all that this implies.
My hope is to help others see why belonging to Rotary is a worthwhile goal and to help them appreciate why I get up for a 7am meeting every week. I'm also WIDE open to comments, suggestions, and ideas on how to make this blog better. Please feel free to participate in this experiment.
