Inspiration![]() An inspiration about stewardship adapted to fit Rotary, by Steve Mariotti My Rotary Club is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be a friendly club, ...if I am. Its work projects will be filled with volunteers, ...if I volunteer to help. My Rotary club will do great work, ...if I work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, ...if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people into its fellowship, ...if I invite and bring them. It will be a club of loyalty, friendship, and fun, and a club with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of other club members, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my club to be. Taken from the Oct 17 issue of the Kent Rotary Nooz |
