MILLENIALS IN THE WORKPLACE

It was such a pleasure to have Lori Ann Banez come and talk to us last Tuesday about the impact Millenials are and will continue to have in the workplace. Her statistics were so powerful, I thought it would be helpful to all of us to revisit them.

- Milenials are the most-educated generation in American history. 1/3 of older Milennials (26-33) have a 4-year college degree.!

- By 2025, Milennials will make up 75% of the workforce.!

- Milennials believe in purpose over profits. They want to do “well” while doing good.!

- 35% of Milennials think the most exciting part of work is challenging projects.!

- Milennials judge the performance of a business on what it does and how it treats people (not the balance sheet).!

SONG OF THE WEEKDeep in the Heart of Texas !

lyrics by June Hershey and music by Don Swander!!The song was recorded by Perry Como with Ted Weems and His Orchestra on

December 9 1941 for Decca Records. It was a single release on the flip side of the song "Ollie Ollie Out's In Free." !

!"Deep in the Heart of Texas" spent five weeks at the top of Your Hit Parade in 1942. !Many have sung it & it’s been in movies &c. Gene Autry sang the song in Heart of

the Rio Grande (1942) and his version may be the most well known.!

The stars at night are big and bright! Deep in the heart of TexasThe prairie sky is wide and high Deep in the heart of TexasThe sage in bloom is like perfume Deep in the heart of TexasReminds me of the one that I love Deep in the heart of Texas!The coyotes wail along the trail Deep in the heart of TexasThe rabbits rush around the brush Deep in the heart of Texas!

! ! The cowboys cry, "Ki yippee yi!"

Deep in the heart of TexasThe dogies bawl and bawl and bawl!

! Deep in the heart of Texas!!

Presidents Message January 2016

There is a story told in my Hindu tradition of two sages, Shaunaka and Abhipratari. They were worshippers of Prana, the wind god. One day, the two men were about to sit down to lunch when a poor student knocked on their door, asking for food.!

"No, boy, do not bother us at this hour," was the reply. The student was surprised but very hungry, so he persisted.!

"Tell me, honored sirs, which deity do you worship?"!

"Prana, the wind god," they answered impatiently.!

"Do you not know that the world begins and ends with wind, and that wind pervades the entire universe?”!

The two sages were by now very irritated by their impertinent guest. "Of course we know it!" they replied.!

"Well, then," continued the student, "if Prana pervades the universe, then he pervades me also, since I am but part of the universe. He is also in this hungry body, which stands before you begging for a bite to eat! And so in denying food to me, you deny it to the very deity whom you say you serve."!

The sages realized the student spoke the truth and invited him to enter and share their meal. For they understood, at that moment, that by opening the door to one who sought their help, they were not only serving that individual – but reaching toward a larger goal.!

Our experience of Rotary is, for the most part, based in our own communities. We meet every week in our clubs, in the same places, with the same familiar friends. While almost all of us are involved in some way or other in international service, the Rotary we see and share from day to day feels very local. It can be easy to lose sight of the larger picture – of what our service truly means.!

Every impact you have as a Rotarian, individually and through your club, is multiplied by the power of our numbers. When you feed one person who is hungry, when you educate one person who is illiterate, when you protect one child from disease, the impact may seem small. It is anything but. For it is only through the power of numbers, through the power of our individual actions and gifts, that we can have the impact we seek: to truly Be a Gift to the World.
