An article in the March 13 issue of the NY Times showcases the fact that for many retirees, being retireed is not satifying.  Often these retirees were vey busy in their own businesses and are usde to being productive.  Once they retire, the find that they are bored because they don't have anything to do.  These retirees are turning to membership in a Rotary Club as a way to once again be productive by volunteering in to serve in local and international projects.  Now, instead of being bored at home they are finding very satisfying service opportunities.  As a retiree, they have the time and the means to travel.  By paticipating in the service projects of their Rotary Club or district, they get the joy of working with other people in the projects that Rotary does around the world.
