Rotary Minute: fun facts: the first service project of the first Rotary Club was what? And when? Installation of public toilets in Chicago in 1917.
Did you know there was a second Rotary motto? “One profits most who serves best.”
Rotatarians in the USA make up 28 % of all Rotarians world wide.
What are the pillars of Rotary? 1 membership, 2 Programs, 3 Projects, 4 Fund Raising
Note: not the 7 areas of focus, the pillars on which a club is built. Membership helps solve many of the other issues.
Quote : “Being alive means feeling pain, because moments of pain better illuminate the moments of joy. It means having your goals derailed, because the failures sweeten the moment of triumph. It means finding dead ends, because that forces you to find new better paths. And maybe it means being reminded of your own mortality here and there, because it makes you breathe the fresh air a little deeper every time you have the chance.” – Alex Kurt (thank you Tristam for sharing with me)
