From the President -
Dear Fellow Rotarians:
Incoming president Linda Burns is attending the 2002 Rotary
International convention in Barcelona, Spain this week and will
enjoy many exciting activities and hear from a number of great
speakers such as Mikhail Gorbachev - Nobel Peace Prize laureate and
former president of the Soviet Union and Jerry Lewis - comedian and
recipient of the Rotary Award of Honor for his humanitarian work.
The focus is, as always, on service.
As pointed out by Rotary International President Richard King,
Rotarians demonstrate not only a desire but an absolute need to
serve. He also quotes Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer, an
honorary Rotarian, in the June edition of the ROTARIAN, who once
said: “I don’t know what your destiny will be. But this I do know:
the only ones among you who will ever be truly happy are those who
have sought and found how to serve others.” According to President
King, this is why Rotary has become such a vital force for good in
the world. It gives people the opportunity to become their best
selves, to become something better than they might otherwise have
been.
(Quotes from Richard King’s monthly message for June 2002, pg 8).
Our community, as do all communities, depends and thrives on the
service of its members. Please keep this in mind throughout the
coming year as the Jasper Rotary Club seeks to make a difference.
