Official Visit # 33, Eunice
September 19, 2012
Ok, I am as far Southeast in the state of New Mexico as I can go
and visit a Rotary Club. This is a town
that lives or dies with the oil industry and yet this club remains active and
vital to the community.
The members of this club are involved in every form of
leadership you can imagine in the community of Eunice. Although the head of the Chamber of Commerce
is a member, I really got the feeling that the group assembled truly made up
the Chamber. This club has been so
proactive to the community and the individuals of the community. I was amazed at the stories told by this
club. Their efforts in fundraising in
this community were inspiring.
It was great to listen to the club and members as they told
their stories with pride. There is a
sense of pride in the community in the room, and that sense of pride has to
spread out of the doors of the meeting.
As I drove away, I was very happy to really understand the extent that
this club goes to reach out to their fellow citizens of this community. I left very proud.
