Celebrating our Diversity

Our club members, or their ancestors, are from America (native American) Brazil, China, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, the Phillipines, Peru, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Venezuela, Vietnam, Wales...I’ve probably missed a few. We came here on boats and airplanes. Our ancestors came across the oceans, and they came across the plains. And that’s just the members who attended our November meeting focused on International Goodwill and Understanding.

It is our diversity that makes us interesting. It is our diversity that makes us fun! It is our diversity that gives us the breadth of experience and ideas needed to creatively address the issues we have chosen to tackle.

But it is our unity that makes us successful as a club. I want to share a 3 minute video on the lessons we can learn from geese (inspired from the words of Milton Olson and first shared with me in another Sherrie’s blog). It’s a great message on teamwork. I’ve seen this message shared in many written forms, however, a visual does it best. Just copy the text below into your browser. Enjoy!
