There are many
organizations that adults can join that demonstrate their professional
positions in the work force. Marcus Rolls decided to join the Rotary Club of
Houston. In order to qualify as a member of the rotary club, Marcus Roll had to
fit in one of three categories; someone who’d participated in the Rotary
Foundation, served as a community leader, or held an executive business
position.
Through the rotary
club, Marcus Rolls also had to make a commitment to serve his community. The
motto of the rotary club is to “serve above self” and Marcus Rolls is prepared
to do just that. The most recent way he helped serve his community by was
acting as ceremony of chief for the Rotary Lombardi Award event where nominees
spoke at a local Houston, Texas middle school.
It is the hope of
Marcus Rolls, other rotary club members, teachers, and parents that children
will follow through with their basic education and pursue a college education
afterward. One of the main areas of community service performed by the rotary
club is focused on the youth of Houston. They perform this through the Youth
& Education committee.
There are other
committees that Marcus Rolls
can get involved in through the rotary club. Other committees include the Fresh
Start Committee, Public Health Committee, Rotary Lombardi Award Committee, and
Scholarship Committee. No matter the committee, professionals like Marcus Rolls
join them to serve their community.
Marcus Rolls, like all
members, had to make promises or declarations in order to become a member of
the club. The theme of the promises is to be honest and work to serve others to
the best of his or her abilities. A member of the Houston community, Marcus
Rolls always works to help both individuals and larger neighborhoods, and he is
committed to making his city a better place to live.
