Merrimack Valley Rotary Club To Sponsor Job Hunting TV Show

The Merrmack Valley Rotary is sponsoring and creating a television show to help people who are unemployed find work.The show will be manned by people who are unemployed and will feature experts in the job hunting process giving valuable tips on the challenges that the unemployed face.

The show will also give individuals who are unemployed the opportunity to give a 30 second free commercial about themselves in the hopes that an employer will find them and hire them.

The show will be taped locally and will be shared with cable stations throughout the area. There will be two half hour shows each month that will be aired several times throughout the month.
Shown is a picture from the first planning session at the Chelmsford TV studio, where the show will be produced. Matt Scott, station manager, is shown giving the crew an overview of TV show production.

Banning Rotary

I was given this article by fellow Rotarian and thought I'd share it here. It's hard to imagine that Rotary and Lions clubs would be banned from any country but a conservative Muslim group in Indonesia is calling for just that.

There lies a huge opportunity to educate the world about the many, many wonderful things that are accomplished through Rotary and other civic organizations. One can understand the hatred towards the United States given the events over the last ten years. I've seen many Rotary dollars and hours spent in countries around the world without regard to religion or political beliefs. Rotary may have been started in the United States and be headquartered in Chicago, but it truly is an International Organization with leaders from around the world.

I hope that these Islamists can rationalize this and participate in the many programs to save and better those less fortunate.

It's a sad day when people publicize half truths to push an agenda.
