Integrity for Happiness and Better Relationships

Tom Strawser, founder of Spiritual-Engineering, talked about the need for integrity, rigid adherence to a set of values or principles,  the quality or condition of being whole.  As  people experience spirituality as the basis for realizing their own self-worth, they develop the self- confidence and the knowledge that their happiness doesn't depend on external conditions or circumstances.  This positive attitude opens one up to be accepting of others and to "love your neighbors as yourself" with "as" being the operative word. 

 This was a very appropriate message for this meeting as 31 of our members demonstrated their commitment to the 4-Way Test and the work of The Rotary International Foundation by becoming or adding to their Paul Harris Fellowships.

President-elect Tom Nicholas attended President Elect Training February 27-8.  Tom is asking each club member to select one thing they would like to see the club accomplish in the 2010-11 year and send him your idea at tnichola@aurora.gov.
