Rotary Information - DECEMBER MESSAGES FROM ROTARY LEADERS

RI Presidents December Message

Foundation Chairmans December Message

If you take a look at the Rotary calendar,

it's easy to see where our priorities as an
organization lie. The Rotary year begins
in July; in August we mark Membership
Month, in September we celebrate New
Generations, October is for vocational
service, and so on, turning our attention
to different topics that are important in
Rotary.
It's a great idea to do this, because it reminds us to talk
about subjects that we might otherwise overlook during our
busy Rotary year. But we all know that every topic on our
calendar from fellowship to our Foundation is important. All of them are part of what makes Rotary what it is,
and what makes all of us Rotarians.
In Rotary, December is Family Month. Looking back on my
years as a Rotarian, I have seen how important family is in
Rotary and how important Rotary can be to our families.
My wife, Corinna, chose to join Rotary just a few months
ago, after many years as a Rotary spouse. All three of our
children are also Rotarians. All of them joined their own
club, in their own time. All of them have found unique interests in Rotary. As we have watched them find their own
paths, we have been struck by how wonderful it is to have
so many members of our family involved in Rotary service.
Rotary gives us something good that we can all do together. With Rotary, we always have interesting things to
talk about at dinner. We are all involved in different service, in different clubs, so when we sit down together, we
are talking about humanitarian needs of every kind, in
every part of the world. There is always something new to
learn.
Our conversations are also a wonderful way to teach our
children, through our own actions, what is really important
in life. They learn about what life is like in different parts of
the world, and how all of us have an obligation to help others when we can. I can think of no better lessons to teach
our families than the lessons of Rotary service.

In his inaugural address, U.S. President

John F. Kennedy made this often
quoted exhortation: "Ask not what your
country can do for you ask what you
can do for your country."
The same sentiments could be applied
to the membership of Rotary.
Whether Rotary will survive or whether it will falter,
whether our service will mean much to many or little to
few, whether Rotary is known with respect or seen as a
relic of days gone by, will be up to each and every Rotarian.
There is so much to be done in our world to educate the
illiterate, feed the hungry, provide shelter to the homeless.
Our world is still ill divided, and the gap is not shrinking
between the haves and the have-nots. But to whom much
has been given, much is expected.
The most important people in Rotary are not the directors
of the Board or the trustees of our Rotary Foundation, but
the individual Rotarians working quietly in their clubs to
assist those in communities who are less fortunate than
themselves, for whom they know the need is great. This is
Rotary at its finest: Rotarians identifying a need and responding to it.
For many, this is a special time of year. May it bring to
each of you the blessings that it offers.
As we Light Up Rotary, let us remember that the future of
our Foundation is in your hands.

John Kenny
Foundation Trustee Chair

I hope that in this Rotary year, many of you will encourage

your family members to join Rotary, Rotaract, or Interact.
Bringing your family into Rotary doesn't just Light Up Rotary it lights up your own lives as
well.
Gary C. K.

Principles that Guide Rotary

The Object of Rotary

The Four-Way Test

First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and

foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

Of the things we think, say or do

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the
recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill,
and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional
persons united in the ideal of service.

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER
FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

ROTARIANS PLEDGE

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the

effective functioning of the club.
Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their
vocations and to practice high ethical standards.

GOODWILL and UNDERSTANDING
in my community,
among my countrymen
and people of all nations.

humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding & peace.

I will always seek to promote
the greatest good
for the greatest number of people

Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth

and young adults through leadership development activities, service
projects, and exchange programs.
