#PeopleofAction
Please show Retired Chief Donald Fernald as the West Covina Sunrise Rotary 2018-2019 People of Action representative.
Don has been an active member of the club in ways that go beyond his service as a Club President and the numerous chair positions (i.e. Foundation, Club Treasurer, Community Services Chair, Shoes and Socks Co-Chair, Red Ribbon Rally Co-Chair, Interact Co Advisor.) Don has also been a mentor to youth in our community, assisted wounded warriers, bagged care packages for the homeless, and assisted many schools in the setup of their Every 15-Minute Program to help keep kids off drugs and safe behind the wheel of a car. There is nothing for the youth and seniors that you cannot ask Don to do - he is always willing and able to put in the hours, the hard work, and the personal sacrifice to make Rotary better, and our communities vibrant. Retired Chief Don Fernald is a true Rotary, Person of Action.
Our all time favorite picture is this one. After a grueling 14 hour day, all boxes of items for wounded warriors filled a 15-ft UHAUL. Only 4 us stayed the distance - we captured Don taking a cat nap...it truly depicts the level of work that goes into being a Rotarian. He is absolutely our fan favorite for People of Action.
The Five Avenues of Service
Club Service
Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.
Vocational Service
Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Learn more in An Introduction to Vocational Service and the Code of Conduct.
Community Service
Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. Learn more in Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects and this Community Service presentation (PPT).
International Service
International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
Youth Service
Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
