We had a very
interesting meeting at our International Service Division on June 16 when our guest
speaker was His Excellency Archbishop Celestino Migliore, who is Permanent
Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations. He delivered an excellent
speech about “The Holy See in the International Arena”. We are fortunate to
have a copy of Archbishop Migliore’s speech. You can read it on our website at www.nyrotary.org/int_service_div/holy_see.pdf.

Rotarians asked me why I decided to resign. My response is that the spirit of
Rotary is to rotate our duties. After having done this assignment for three and
a half years, it is time to let someone else take over. It is not easy to find
someone with the special skills required to manage a website and handle Internet
Communications. We are fortunate in our Rotary Club to have enrolled a new
member last year with these skills. His name is Nick Uresin and his
classification is E-Business Software. Nick is not only willing to take over my
duties. He has also declared that he wants to bring our website to the next
level. That is the right spirit for the future! Good luck Nick!
My Rotary assignment for
the next year will be as Chairman of Rotary’s Global History Fellowship. It is
authorized by Rotary International with Rotarians from around the world as
members. Its 1,300 page website at www.RotaryHistoryFellowship.org
has more than 2,000 articles about the history of Rotary, which makes it the biggest
Internet resource about Rotary history. It is visited every month by 35,000
Rotarians from all over the world. I look forward to the challenge of leading
this organization.
I plan to
write newsletters for Rotary’s Global History Fellowship, so I am not
disappearing completely. The difference will be that instead of informing about

We are the ones, who build houses for
the homeless to live in.
We drill water wells for other people
to drink from.
We feed hungry people in our
hometowns.
We vaccinate children against polio.
We are 1.3 million souls around the world
from many nationalities, races and religions.
We meet every week in fellowship, camaraderie
and service at 31,000 different clubs.
Whenever we visit any of these clubs -
even if we have never been there before - we are always welcome as friends,
because we are the Rotarians.
God bless us
all!
