THE POWER OF ONE
COMBINED WITH MANY
"One of the most amazing things about the success of Rotary is
that it is achieved entirely by
volunteers. It all starts
because one Rotarian wants something to happen, not
because some boss tells
him or her to do
it, or to fulfill a mission statement
that is posted on a wall
somewhere. Every successful project that Rotary has ever
accomplished has begun at the grass roots level in the minds and
hearts of individual Rotarians.”
Frank Talk I, p.

Rotary
humanitarian and educational projects are funded most often by
small amounts of money given by large numbers of Rotarians to
the Annual Programs Fund and combing those funds to do great
things.
TRF Trustee Lou Piconi recently stated “… we
do hope every Rotarian would feel the pride of the achievements
and programs of The Rotary Foundation and then choose to make an
annual contribution each and every year. That is the bottom line
message that Rotary club leaders should convey with sincerity
and conviction.”
