If you don’t see your name one one of these charts, talk to one of the committee chairs, as they always
welcome another member
One can’t build a reputation by what one plans to do, but by what you DO...
You can’t leave footprints in the sand if you drag your feet....so join a committee.

Rotarians are people who . . . . . . .
Dig a well from which they will never drink;
Vaccinate children they will never meet;
Restore eyesight for those they will never see;
Build housing they will never live in;
Educate children they will never know;
Plant trees they will never sit under;
Feed hungry people regardless of race or politics;
Make crawlers into walkers halfway around the world;
And right here in your own community, ROTARIANS
Give Dictionaries to children that will be the first book they ever had of their very own
Buy books and read to children, yes, right here in your own community
Provide meals for those who are hungry
Rotarians experience real happiness which, as Albert Schweitzer once said,
“Can only be found by helping others”.
Thanks now for all you will do to make our world a better, peaceful place to be as a Rotarian.
I would like to tell you what WE, as Rotarians are all about.
WHY DID I JOIN ROTARY?Rotary gives PURPOSE to my life.
PURPOSE: The reason for which something exists
Rotary gives me a CONNECTION ……. to community…… locally and globallyRotary has given me an OPPORTUNITY………. to learn more about who I am.
As long as you attend meetings and pay your dues, you are a “member of Rotary”. When you participate in a service project locally or globally ...... you become a “Rotarian”!
