ROTARY ADDRESS AND FAX INFORMATION

IMPORTANT! Please change your directory information. Please be sure to use P.O. Box 1131, Evansville, IN 47706 for all Rotary correspondence including dues payment. There is a new fax for the Rotary office. It is 866-538-7635. All changes- address, cell / mobile number, e-mail address, employment status, marital status, telephone number, etc., should be submitted to the Rotary office

DON'T LOOSE THAT NUMBER

From Gene Warren: Professional organizer Julie Morganstern says many employees make the mistake of storing important telephone numbers in their cell phones. ”That’s fine until you lose the phone or the battery dies,” she says. To be safe, keep a paper version of the numbers. It doesn’t have to be a bulky address book; a simple sheet with the numbers listed is enough.

CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY

Is you beneficiary current on your important documents; i.e., wills, insurance policy, 401-K? When was the last time you checked your beneficiary information? Stay current - check now.

HOW PRAISE BUILDS POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS

From Gene Warren: There’s a lot of power in praising people, according to Chris Widener, president of Made for Success and Extraordinary Leaders. Widener says it’s very important to develop successful relationships in life, and one great way to do that is look for what is truly good in others and then tell them about it. Widener says we all have a choice in our life approach, and that approach can either be life-giving or life-taking, meaning that we can either choose to be positive or negative forces in other peoples’ lives. In other words, you either spend your time and energy building people up or tearing people down. Which kind of person are you? What kind of manager do you want to be? Do you know how to build a person up? Widener says praise is one of the main ways you can build someone up. When you praise someone, and there has to be truth in the praise, something amazing often then takes place. Something starts to grow and change in the other person, and your relationship often becomes deeper and more fulfilling as a result. Widener says to think about what kind of leader you want to be: one who builds people up or tears them down? The choice is yours.
