1 Minute A Day - 60 Heart Beats❤️Each day has 1440 minutes (60 min * 24 hrs). One minute equals 0.07% of a day or about 60 heart beats. We encourage each member of our eClub (or eFriend) to invest an average of 1 minute each day in service including committing random acts of kindness, empowering others, or creating a better world in some other way. Traditional clubs consume at least 60 minutes a week sitting in a meeting, which is 53 minutes more than 1 minute each day for a week. Investing 7 minutes a week is 88% less time than a single 1 hour traditional meeting (without including transportation :-) Plus, you are rewarded by saving $500+ ($10/meal times 50 meetings/year).
Averaging one minute a day totals 6 hours for an entire year leaving you 8,730 hours or 99.93% of the year for other activities. Your example will shine a light and send a signal to motivate and encourage others.
Please record your Act of Service or Random Act of Kindness on the form below. Our club does not give certificates for attendance at meetings. We give acknowledgement for acts of service! What you measure and reward becomes the focus. We encourage every other club to measure both Member Average Service (MAS) and the Ratio of Direct Service to all other club service (RDS) (Help lead by example by placing acts of service as the true measure above money or meeting time.)
"I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." - Helen Keller (blind & deaf but willing to try.)

The world could use one more Hero setting a Good Example and creating Hope .... are you available today for just 1 minute ;-)Carpe Diem with Action ... send ripples ... be the change ... not tomorrow, but today ...
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has. --- Margaret Mead
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right-about-face which turns us from failure towards success. --- Dorothea Brande
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. --- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

7 Rotary Focus Areas with related RAGs (Rotary Action Groups)Note: Rotary Action Groups are independent, Rotary-affiliated groups made up of people from around the world who are experts in a particular field. Action groups offer their technical expertise and support to help clubs plan and implement projects to increase our impact. This support includes helping clubs find partners, funding, and other resources. Action groups can also help clubs and districts prepare grant applications, conduct community assessments, and develop plans to monitor and evaluate their projects.
