WHY I AM A ROTARIAN
AUGUST 29, 2006

Rotary is a miracle as small as one tiny drop of vaccine in a child's mouth and as big as peace and prosperity for our planet.


Personally, I think it requires an incredible investment of our time and energy that offers unlimited returns.


For the recipient it can be the promise of a future filled with hope; for the donor, the assurance of fulfillment and probability of grace.


While it is tempting to savor its rich and brilliant past; for most people Rotary is and will remain .. . a pathway to the future.


Robert A. Cerwin
Director and Vice President,
Rotary International, 1985-87
The RC of Asheville, NC, USA
