THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Alan Goltzman's Thoughts of the Day on March 3rd:
 
"To add value to others, one must first value others. Time is more valuable than money.  You can get more money, but you cannot get more time."
 
 - Jim Rohn

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.
