SOMETHING NEW

WHAT PAUL HARRIS SAID
"Since the beginning of
civilization, there has been a
surplus of sayers of things. If
there is any one particular in which
I would have Rotary distinguished
from other organizations, it is in
the quality of character which
results in the doing of things." Paul
Harris, Message to the 1921 RI
Convention in Edinburgh, Scotland.
