Club, gave a great speech during the Evening of Harmony at the National Arts
Club on October 17th when he as Co-Chairman of the Paul Harris
Committee awarded Paul Harris Fellowships to Past Presidents Helen Reisler and
Ed Gray. I asked Jim for a copy of his speech and he was very kind to send it

Rotary International Past President Frank Devlyn sent me the
following message, where he informs us about his latest project. It is a follow-up
book to his previous book Frank Talk, which has become a world-wide Rotary
success:
Dear Amigo,
As you probably may
know by now, I am once again working with David Forward on what will be my new
book on Rotary. In this second book I will be trying to give ideas on how clubs
can effectively have good membership retention as well as on different methods
that clubs have found to reenergize themselves. Therefore, I am requesting that
you send me a comment on these two subjects so as to include your own
experiences and ideas both in my upcoming book and on my personal website at www.frankdevlyn.org
where others have already posted their comments.
I will appreciate it
if you could take the time to share your views which I’m sure will be of
benefit to the world of Rotary.
Un
abrazo from your amigo in México City.

Trustee, The Rotary
Foundation
PRIP 2000-01
With a second book in the works, Frank may become Rotary’s second
most prolific book writer after Paul Harris.

By the way, one of the challenges of speaking at Rotary Clubs is
to finish the meal before it is time to speak. If I have not finished my meal
when it is time for me to speak at our next meeting, I may need to ask
President Greg to keep on with his introduction of me until I am finished with
the meal.
I recommend that you visit our
