Catching Up with Old and New Friends
We all know that the motto of Rotary is Service Above Self. Sometimes, that service is about connecting with others through our clubs. Rotary offers a sense of belonging, being a part of the Rotary “family.”
Before COVID the Rotary Waterloo Club held our Annual Wing Ding every December. It was a great place to catch up with old and new friends, to reminisce about the year just past, and to engage in a little competition to see who was the better pool player.
We felt that this year it was time to bring this old tradition back. So many of our current and alumni members attended, some of them meeting for the first time in years. Old stories were shared, probably with a few embellishments. Friendships were rekindled, and new ones formed.
This event reminded us, service above self can include our service to each other, to continue to connect and watch over each other.
