SOMETHING NEW
|
What Paul Harris Said
in his address to the RI convention in Havana, Cuba 1940
“I have no hesitation in saying that world peace could be achieved and made permanent if reared on Rotary’s firm foundation of friendliness, tolerance and usefulness.”
Rotarians of today are leaving a legacy to the children of the world when we, Rotary, join our world partners in the celebration of the certification of the eradication of polio from the world. More importantly, and I do mean more importantly, is the fact that the Rotarians of today and tomorrow have the opportunity to leave their own legacy of "doing good in the world" for future educational and humanitarian service programs.
Do we dare dream that Rotarians of today not only make it a habit of making an annual contribution each and every year, but leave a percentage of their estate or a one time significant gift to The Rotary Foundation's Permanent Fund?
This should be the dream, goal and reality of all Rotarians. They need just look and see and feel and touch the wonderful programs and projects we are continually completing that help the world know a more humane society and a more peaceful world.
Thank you.

  Past
President Art
introduced Angie Taft former employee and recent RYLA attendee.
Angie is a Criminal Justice major at Western Oregon State
University. Angie is very appreciative of our sponsorship of
her in this high-activity week revolving around leadership
training, self assessment and friendship building. Attendee’s
Emergency Contact Persons were contacted to write a secret
letter about the attendee. Each of the 40 participants heard
their ‘secret’ letter read to the group. She was touched by her
Dad’s kind and loving comments. Angie described how her
leadership skills were enhanced and her ability to handle her
shyness was greatly improved. President Dan had Angie
