Creativity in presentation. That was the entertainment factor in our "Classification Talk" today by Tejas Patel, one of our newest members. Tejas peeled off the uniforms as he told his story. Tejas comes to us as a regional representative for The Boy Scouts of America. He has a past including 11 years with the USMC in Iraq and Afghanistan, and The Peace Corps in Botswana. Tejas is a first generation American, Penn State grad, married father of a 1 year old. He is clearly dedicating himself to making a difference in our world!

View on FacebookHappy New Year! And welcome back to all of our Rotary friends! It was good to get back together and start the new year hearing from a new(ish) member and giving away some money. Malik Jaffer shared his interesting story from birth in Nairobi to growing up in California, Army Reserve service, San Diego State University (and many honors at graduation), work for The Red Cross, work in Afghanistan, life in South Africa, and finally a return to Vienna, VA and his new business in mobile marketing, RewardMeVIP. It's fascinating to see how developments in the 3rd world can lead and drive advancement in business in the USA. Great talk Malik, thanks!
We were also very, very happy to share some proceeds from Viva Vienna! with our friends at local charities... George Bergquist CHO (Committee for Helping Others), and Pat Thompson from The Assistance League of Northern Virginia, and Michelle Scott from The Shepherd Shepherd's Center of Oakton-Vienna. ...
