On September 8th Wen Chen will be back via Zoom to help us learn about human rights in China.
Wen is a great educator and has a passion for China and the Chinese people. Wen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultural Revolution. Being the victim of this horrific atrocity that killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national prize at a science competition when she was 16. Hence, she went to a top university for undergraduate study and then came to the U.S. in 1994 for graduate school. Wen received a Ph.D. in Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her personal experience of being brainwashed in China, she decided to voice for the voiceless. Since 2012, she has given over 300 presentations to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and society.
On September 15th we will be working on our Strategic plan and Vision Statement. Plan on coming so we can plan for our future as a club.
Save the date:
On September 22nd we will be having our Fourth Thursday Rotary after work meeting. Our Speaker will be Ken Wooten the Principal of Melissa High School. Good chance to learn about how he incorporates the 4 way test into his leadership style.
Last Thursday we spent our time serving Rotary via flag placement. Thanks to all those whom put flags out, Captained routes, and answered the customer calls.
Remember to pick the flags up again after September 11th.
