Why I Am A Rotarian
May 2, 2006
In
1975 I was invited to become a Rotarian. At that time Rotary was
not as well known as it is today. I recognized, nevertheless,
that here is an organisation that combines multi vocational
membership with humanitarian goals and a high ethical standard.
This
unique combination of features not only appealed to me but
challenged me as well.
As the
years went by, these initial impressions were reinforced,
generating enthusiasm in what I had been doing in Rotary. It was
felt like an inner reward when I was asked to become the
district governor in my district (2350 Sweden) twenty years
later. I am still very active, taking great pride in being a
Rotarian.
Today
Rotary is still a multi vocational organisation, the only one in
the world, that combines vocational service with service to
Mankind, regardless of age, sex, race or religion, holding the
ethical flag high, always paying attention to high ethical
standards in business and professional life.
Isn’t
that a wonderful organization to be a member of?
