Thought of the Week

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. ~ Elayne Boosler

Our World: Easy Rider

This story originally appeared in the January 2020 issue of The Rotarian magazine.

In 2019, before taking on the presidency of the Rotary Club of Reynosa 76 in Reynosa, Mexico, Marcelo Méndez set aside some time for a road trip. “I knew when I got elected president that I wouldn’t have time, so I decided to do it before my term,” he says.

The trip he had in mind was on a grand scale. Over 34 days, he racked up more than 13,000 miles on his Triumph Tiger 800 XRx motorcycle, riding to Alaska and back.

He often traveled back roads rather than major highways. “For a motorcycle rider, the back roads are the best,” he says. “They don’t have a lot of traffic, like all the 18-wheelers. And the views are amazing.” He camped half the time and stayed in hotels the other half. And to help prepare for his term as president, he visited Rotary clubs along the way.

Route of the Badger Project

Willie’s extensive nonprofit career includes 16 years as executive director of the Denali Education Center in Denali National Park, and two years as chief operating officer of the Iditarod Trail Committee—which organizes the famous 1,000-mile sled dog race across Alaska. His love for Wisconsin brought him back to his childhood home and created the opportunity to work with RTC in 2017 as manager of the 500-mile-plus Route of the Badger trail network project. "Helping to build a legacy for the future of Wisconsin was an opportunity that I could not pass up,” says Willie. “The Route of the Badger will live on long after all of us, and it is a true privilege to work on a project that will eventually impact millions of people.”
