Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute


By Joe Sheppard
R-O-T-A-R-Y is a powerful word.
The letters of Rotary have an inner meaning that emphasize the strengths and ideals that make being a Rotarian one of the most satisfying vocations you can have in supporting your local community as well as aiding those communities in need of help around the world.
R — is for Respect and Responsibility. Showing respect for each other and the responsibility each Rotarian must hold in believing in and adopting the Rotary credo of the Four Way Test.
O — is for the Organization we have chosen to be part of. There are 1.2 million Rotarians attending more than 32,000 clubs worldwide. In Caledon, you have two clubs — Palgrave and Bolton — to choose from!
T — is for Teamwork, a fundamental part of Rotary Clubs and Districts to work effectively. Only when the skills and strengths of individual team members are joined with shared goals, and a focus on collective performance, do you see the benefits of a team at work.
A — is for Attendance. Regular attendance at weekly meetings, club service projects, fund raising events, or club activities demonstrate a member's commitment to the club and the organization.
R — is for Resources and References. Whether you are an active Rotarian or thinking about becoming a Rotarian or just want to know what Rotary is — visit www.rotary.org for an abundance of information.
Y — is for Youth. Like any business or organization it's future growth and continuing success is born from the youth of the day. Rotary is no different with numerous programs to allow young people to experience Rotary at different levels.
Rotary is, indeed, a powerful word.
