Why I Am A Rotarian

OCTOBER 10, 2006

 

As I sit here in a small community farther north than many places, I am pretty insignificant. I may have an impact on a few people around me. I can help with community projects, but I can't change the world...but maybe I can.

By joining Rotary, I can rid the world of polio! By being a Rotarian, I can provide clean water to villages with none. By being part of this wonderful organization, I can save lives, feed children, make the blind to see and educate the poorest of the poor. By being a Rotarian, I can leave a legacy of help, caring and love to the entire planet...me, one insignificant person from a small town up north.

I am a Rotarian to leave the world a better place than I found it.
