THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Melisa Gildner's Thoughts of the Day on February 24th:
 
"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.  The fears are paper tigers.  You can do anything you decide to do.   You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward."
 
 - Amelia Earhart

GREETINGS FROM NEPAL!
Greetings EMRC from Steve and Liisa Schmitt in Nepal!  
 
 
 
You all have been busy.  It is great to see the success of the Rotaringo and all the guests.
 
We are well in Nepal and have started a substack feed to keep all updated on status and to share more about what we are learning during our Peace Corps assignment.  Substack is a free "blogging' type site, that we will keep as free, so our updates can be freely  accessed and shared.  One can establish a no cost account and subscribe to get automatic update notifications.
 
Please post the substack link, as you see it appropriate, to newsletter, website or share at a meeting (including any extracts from the substack feed).
 
We miss you all and continue to be your Rotary friends in service.
