Rotary district governor touts volunteerism in visit to McMurray
Cherie Sears visits the McMurray Rotary Club, which meets at 12:10 p.m. Wednesdays at Atria’s Restaurant in Peters Township.
Everyone can use some “Intelligence for Your Life,” as John Tesh calls the radio show he hosts.
A nugget of wisdom he once imparted continues to resonate with Cherie Sears.
“He said, ‘There’s a study that’s been done, and adults laugh on average six times a day. Young children laugh on average 250 times a day,’” she recalled during a visit to the McMurray Rotary Club in Peters Township. “And I thought, I am in the right business.”
She regularly sees the evidence as president of The Village, a nonprofit childhood education center in California Borough.
“The kids do. They laugh all day long,” She attested. “That’s just very uplifting, and it helps me to not take myself too seriously. So that’s carried over into Rotary.”
As she visits clubs throughout seven counties, including Washington, as 2018-19 governor of Rotary International District 7330, she totes along a stuffed flying monkey and dons a safari hat, in part to promote the safari-themed district conference that she wants as many Rotarians as possible to attend in May.
She also is sending the message:
“If we’re having fun, it sure makes it a lot easier to do whatever it is we’re doing.”
