Definition of Rotary. Get from Mona,the 31 words of Rotary
Mona Quote: Quote: “I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.” ― Jana Stanfield
1- DEFINITION OF ROTARY – 7/28
How do you describe the organization called "Rotary"? There are so many characteristics of a Rotary club as well as the activities of a million Rotarians. There are the features of service, internationality, fellowship, classifications of each vocation, development of goodwill and world understanding, the emphasis of high ethical standards, concern for other people an many more descriptive qualities.
In 1976 the Rotary International Board of Directors was interested creating a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of Rotary. The turned to the three men who were then serving on Rotary's Public Relation Committee and requested that a one-sentence definition of Rotary be pre pared. After numerous drafts, the committee presented this definition, which has been used ever since in various Rotary publications:
"Rotary is an organization of business and professional person united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.”
Those 31 words are worth remembering when someone asks, "What is a Rotary club?"
Rotary District Conference in Lake Win is open to all Rotarians, space is limited. If you are interested, let Mona know, she is going. Can access the registration from our webpage to the rotary district webpage.
Thank you from Angela, one of the Scholarship recipients. District 7870 Gold Golf Tourn at Brentwood South Keene if you want to play August 20.
Jason has an announcement. Thank Mona for volunteering everyone for the V Wall in the club. Everyone will get notice of what you have to do. We need a lot of people to direct people to do miner things that are important. 9/16 to 9/21.
Monas went to meeting at VFW. They are very excited to be working with both clubs. Mona said it was eye opening to learn what has to happen to have the moving wall come here. Mona talked to the group that they would help with the food portion of helping the volunteers. They estimate 25 volunteers a day. Jason said that they don’t know how many people will show up. Could be up to 1000 people at any given time. People cant touch the wall so visitors will be given instructions on how to do (trace?) the names. The person to collect the information would be Tristam and Jason. Mona wants our club to be a part of the food part of this event for the volunteers. Cost of the wall investment is $15,000.00
Josh T, how to champion the food part. Need the A person to be the delegate. Mona is the volunteer for that part for our group. Will announce a meeting because Mona is meeting with a lot of auxiliary club members. Need help the weekend before for platforms and the walkway and the flag poles. Tents need to be set up for medical, security, computers, parking. There are many clubs involved in the Moving Wall. The main group behind this is the Vietnam Veterans Associations/Club. Josh G, next step? Organizing people and getting a list of what folks can do what hours. This is a 24/7 event.
Mona: RDG John Bob would like to join in our next big project and she expects to see him very soon.
