Frances Vieta has
written this Reporter of the Week with pictures of our last meeting’s Paul
Harris Fellowship recipients. Thank you Francis, for a good report.
President Greg Lynch has
written a new piece for the Presidential Page. It is called
WHY WE COME TOGETHER and
includes the following paragraph:
Perhaps,
then I have begun to
understand. When we raise our glasses and voices in festive celebration, we are
really raising a torch in remembrance of those who have sacrificed that we may
be free, for those who maintain the peace, far away yes, but not forgotten.
Perhaps, in celebrating our common values, the ideals of service, of our
freedom to question, of sharing friendship without fear, and even a full belly,
we are “representing” for all of our fellow human beings who struggle to attain
what we have, and who help us
understand better what we hold dear: life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Rotary
is about having fun
and
do good things!
But before I start
quoting you, I wonder if, grammatically proper, it should be
"doing" good things...
Anyway, if you don't
mind, I will adopt this great line and use it in
YIR,
Ted
Thank you Ted for
correcting my grammatical error and please feel free to use my quote as much as
you wish.
