I
have often said that the camaraderie between Rotarians is so strong that it
does not matter what nationality or what country we are from, we are welcome as
a friend among Rotarians anywhere in the world. It is illustrated in the
following message from Past District Governor Mark Doyle from District 9250 in
South Africa:
Dear Matts
Thank you for your kindness and hospitality to
me, firstly at the New York Club meeting on Tuesday and then at the GSE
Sub-Committee Meeting held out at the Odyssey Restaurant, New Rochelle/East
Chester.
I thoroughly enjoyed both.
I hope than the small input that I was able to
have at the meeting was of value to you but the fact that you are already
in frequent contact with our elected Team Leader, George Kalell, bode very well
for a fantastic exchange.
Our GSE Chairman, Andre Brandmuller, is a ball
of fire and I know that he and his team are already working hard to ensure that
the visit of your team to our shores will be of value, significance and a lot
of fun!
I have told George that if he does want to
pull out at any stage I would be willing to take his place. I am
not envious of anyone but George has come very close to it.
Once again, thank you for your hospitality and
the informative and interesting trip back to the City through Harlem and
Central Park.
I hope to see you again on my next trip the
Big Apple whenever that may be.
Mark Doyle

you Mark, your input at our committee meeting was great. I look forward to see
