Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute

People ask me all the time . . . Rotary? What’s that? Why Rotary? What do you do there?
It would be easy to give the age old “parental” answer of simply because. Because sometimes that’s all you can say.
It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to know you’ve helped someone — whether next door or a world away. It’s hard to articulate the pride you feel in your heart whenever you simply hear the word “rotary.” There aren’t enough smiles to capture what it feels like when someone at your Club is reading a letter of thanks from a school in a different country who now has something as simple as a washroom. Or children who have backpacks and school supplies.
When you look back over the time period of a year and realize all the people you have helped — directly as a result of you belonging to a club such as Rotary — sometimes your answer is simply because.
Because — we are This Close to ending polio.
Because — we are people connected all over the globe who take action.
Because — we are part of something that is more than 100 years old — those are deep roots!
Because — our work to support peace and end conflict is making the world a better place.
Because — our club is full of amazing people in our community who want to (and do) give back.
Because — we are service above self.
