Welcome New Member
Joe Durkin is NE Florida Division Sales Manager for Republic Services. In that role Joe manages an eleven-member sales team and is responsible for achieving challenging
revenue targets in the commercial and industrial service sectors for
solid waste and recycling hauling and processing. Prior to this job, Joe was a sales account manager at Aerotek Commercial Staffing Company for more than 6 years.
Joe and Carmen have three children: Joseph is a Senior at Bishop Kenny, Gabriela is a Second Grader at Alimicani and Ryan goes to VPK at The Goddard School. Our only pet is the ghost of Keane, who was one of the family until 2011. He cannot be replaced until my wife, Carmen, stops finding his hair in the lint screen and forgets about all the sweeping and vacuuming we did when he was around. Joe's hobbies are volunteering with Metro Kids Connections where he teaches soccer, spending time with his family at the beach, playing games, helping with homework, and watching the Jaguars. His favorite vacation with Carmen was the Caribbean Cruise they took for their honeymoon.

Minutarian Minute Week 8
Every 4th week the Weekly Minute serves as a recap for the previous three weeks.
Week 5 Recap: This week’s minute served as a reminder to sign-up for the Light Up Rotary Seminar that took place on August 16th. Apparently it worked as we had over 200 D6970 Rotarians fired-up and ready to go last Saturday at the Thrasher-Horne Center.
Week 6 Recap: This week’s minute was intended to spotlight our District’s Rotary Youth Exchange program, better known as RYE Florida. It also congratulated our District’s RYE Committee on a successful and well-attended Welcome Home Dinner for the 26 returning students we sent abroad for a year of study. Keep in mind we are preparing to interview the next round of Outbound RYE applicants in November.
Week 7 Recap: This week’s minute was a shout-out to all of the Rotarians who attended the Light Up Rotary Seminar and a special thanks to the Rotarians who planned, organized and presented – too numerous to mention individually in the Weekly Minute, but very much appreciated by all. All who attended are encouraged to share the information and enthusiasm with your fellow club members.
NOTE: The presentation at the seminar on the historic Membership Survey is available for all to see on our District Website www.rotary6970.org, along with many other interesting stats and information. A huge shout-out goes to South Jax Rotarian and District Trainer Mike Darragh for the insightful and interesting analysis.
Event Reminders:
•Saturday, October 11th – The Rotary Leadership Institute will hold its first sessions for the year at the Orange Park Campus of St. Johns River State College. More information is available on our District’s website.
•October 20-26 – District 6970 Rotary Days Celebration Week
•Monday, October 20 – District-wide luncheon in Jacksonville with Rotary International President Nominee John Germ and Pakistan’s National Polio Plus Committee Chair Aziz Memon – location to be announced soon
•Sunday, October 26 – Official Rotary Jaguar Game Day at EverBank Field in Jacksonville – Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Miami Dolphins at 1pm.
