Rotary Club of Texas City

October is Rotary International Vocational Service Month

Vocational service is the way Rotary fosters and supports the application of the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations. Rotary encourages and fosters high ethical standards in business and professions; recognizes the worthiness of all useful occupations, and encourages each Rotarian to dignify his or her occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

During the month of October we want our club to recognize in a meaningful way that Rotarians and others in the community have made major contributions through their vocations as a means of service to society. We need to highlight and hold up for public recognition the effort of those who make our communities better places to live and work.

Our Vocational Awareness/Awards Committee is asking for nominations for one Outstanding Rotarian and for one Outstanding Community Leader (Non-Rotarian) for recipients of our Vocational Service Awards for 2013. If you know of a Rotarian and/or another community leader who deserves to be recognized by our club, please fill out the attached nomination form and return to Chairman Paul Selman or Dawn Tholcken no later than October 8, 2013.
