Why I Am A Rotarian

September 2, 2007

 

I am a Rotarian because:

-         The world is not Polio free... yet.  But, Rotary is still in action to eradicate it.

 

-         People in Honduras, Africa, and other underdeveloped countries die every day from unclean water. But, Rotary is helping to provide clean water filtration devices to those people.

 

-         Close to 1 billion people lack the most basic literacy and numeric skills. But, Rotary is helping to educate those through literacy programs.

 

-         Nearly 1.3 billion people live in extreme poverty. But, Rotary is helping to provide those folks with opportunities to enhance their lives. 

 

-         Our world is not at peace. But, Rotary is educating young leaders on Mediation Skills and Peace and Conflict Resolution.

 

-         When there is a need, Rotary responds. That's why I'm a Rotarian.

 

Mike Dennis,

Past President

Rotary Club of Orangeburg-Morning

District 7770
