Week presentations

I presented my short conferences to the Florianopolis-Leste (lunch time) and Fpolis-Trindade (supper) RCs, on April 7. I had a very good reception from the Rotarians who were there. As usual, after the presentation, we exchanged flags and lots of talk about my projects. I am bringing a Rotaractian (??) for an internship in Canada. They all seem to be happy with this perspective.

On Tue evening, I wore the GCIUS-2008 T-shirt. The GCIUS is the group of engineering students I help with humanitarian work in different countries. It's worth while visiting their website. Actually, my help is still limited: I am the president of the orientation committee and I visit them wherever they go, every year.

First presentation in Florianopolis

Don't event bother to think I'm inactive here. I continue to pay my visits to Rotary Club meetings and schedule my presentation. Slowly but surely, I'll be able to meet quite a lot of them.

Two weeks ago I attended the Florianopolis RC meedting and, to my surprise, they had an opening on April 2nd. So I presented for the first time here, in my host district (see some photos by clicking here). My talk was announced in the local bulletin. I was quite happy with the outcome. Service and Goodwill are at the core of my presentation and the two are the core of what Rotary stand for. So I expected to have an attentive audience and indeed I had it! Considering the fact that people are not only friendly but also sincere, the Rotarians attending the talk enjoyed it and came to me to ask questions.

This coming week, I'll presenting to the Florianopolis-Leste and Florianopolis-Trindade RCs. More on that next time. Cheers for now!
