Welcome to the Rotary Club of Breakwater
Daybreak!
Rotary International is the
world’s oldest service club with 33,000 clubs worldwide who volunteer their time and talents to serve their
communities and the world. Our motto “Service Above Self” exemplifies the
humanitarian spirit of the organization’s 1.2 million members.
Rotarians join their local club for
many reasons. Some are drawn by
the opportunity to share in charitable projects, others to network with
businessmen and women and to enjoy the fellowship.
At the local level, Breakwater
Daybreak has funded scholarships for multicultural and international students who
attend Southern Maine Community College.
We support scholarships for South Portland – Cape Elizabeth sophomores
to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) weekend. Most recently we donated
dictionaries to 3rd grade student in South Portland’s elementary
schools. We respond to
community needs and charitable requests.
Internationally, Breakwater
Daybreak has supported literacy in Guatemala, has led a Group Study Exchange
Group to India in January 2010 and has participated in the eradication of Polio
during National Immunization Day in India.
Visitors are always welcome to join the fellowship and meet interesting speakers.
I look forward to a year of
fellowship and service with each of you.
Ilse Yanis
President 2010-2011
