The Rotary Club of Ballart Young Ambition
The Rotary Club of Ballart Young Ambition seems like a Rotary club with a certain difference. I came across their website while doing some Rotary related work and was pleasantly surprised. Well, for one, we both share the same technology for our websites. Our beloved WordPress! While they offer wordpress powered websites to other clubs as a method of fund raiser for their club, we donate these to other organizations as our contribution to their efforts. I did steal their idea of the Next Meeting announcement, though!
Next, they are concentrating, and apparently succeeding in building a club of young people. Here at Lahore Liberty, when I was inducted, a major dilemma of the club was the old age of the members and all the issues that crop up in a club in that state. We have been able to bring in some young blood and infuse activity but I am certainly inspired by the spirit that Young Ambition seems to carry.
Another lesson I learned while browsing their website is that thanks to the WWW, we the Rotarians should spend some time going through other club websites. This can also give us ideas for some of the common problems and how to tackle them. I don’t know anyone at Young Ambition, but all of a sudden, I feel, I found a friend.
And, that’s the spirit of Rotary!
