“Not everyone can be famous, but everyone can be great, because greatness is determined by service”. What terrific words from Martin Luther King, which characterises a Rotarian well. Thank you to Rotary International Director Nominee Jessie Harman for her mentioning this quote in her inspirational address at the recent Zone 8 Rotary International Conference held last weekend. Also, “If you want to live in a good society, you have to build it”. If I quote correctly from our Rotary International President nominee Jennifer Jones. As also pointed out by Jennifer, Rotary can give benefits to the individual in developing their interpersonal skills, leadership, education, experience in governance and cultural matters. This was a thought provoking conference. You can only be amazed at the wealth of achievements from small to large projects. Also, the International nature of Rotary. |
