MEMBER EVENT: Service Above Self Volunteer Expo

Unselfish volunteerism is the single-most value treasured by Rotary Club members around the
world. Since 1950, “Service Above Self” has been the international service organization’s motto.
And here in Racine, the birthplace of Paul P. Harris who created Rotary International, the Racine
Founders Club has embraced that ideal for 109 years.

The Racine Founders Rotary Club invites everyone to find their volunteer niche in the first
Service Above Self Expo from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 31 at Fountain Hall, 8505
Durand Ave.

If you made a New Year’s resolution to get more involved in the community, you will likely find
your niche at the Expo. The Founders Club has invited service organizations from around the
area to gather at one spot where people can see what they do for the community and how they
can help. There are volunteer opportunities for adults and kids alike.

Concessions will be available and door prizes will be awarded every half hour. The event is free
– a service of the Racine Founders Rotary Club, which for decades has hosted the Rotary Post
Prom, Strive Scholarship and Founders Foundation, which has supported hundreds of
community efforts in Rotary’s 109-year history here.

The goal is to create a more vibrant place where everyone puts service above themselves as best
as they can to help their neighbors and community thrive. You may just fulfill your New Year’s
resolution at the Expo!
