Raffle and Rotary Corner

 

PP Raj Mavath conducted R&RC today and discussed Membership.
 
Benefits of membership
 
"You get old when you trade your dreams for regrets . . . and you get old, not when your skin wrinkles, but when your soul wrinkles. We don't get old when our eyesight goes, just when our vision goes. Rotary keeps our souls alive and gives us a vision of what is possible."
 
Like many Rotarians, giving something back to the community is one reason for their involvement, but an additional factor is the suggestion that "Rotarians have one team and one goal." "No one person cares about taking the credit for a successful service project. Rotary takes credit."
 
Rotary also gives members an opportunity to meet other community leaders and be part of a respected group, "doing extraordinary things." In addition to local community service, "Rotary impacts the lives of thousands of people in third world countries with their world community service". This is very rewarding and forces members to stretch themselves during the process. 
 
The Raffle was won by PP Ian Johnston
