President John Gray 2007-2008
Many of
us are so wrapped up in our daily lives that we fail to
consider how fortunate we are and how good we have it. Too
often, we fail to think about those people in our local and
international communities who lack the basic comforts that
we take for granted – things like family, health, housing,
food, education, and even clean drinking water. Too seldom
do we take action to improve the lives of such people.
Rotarians are vitally aware of the need to take action
because at some point, each Rotarian decides that the
plight of those less fortunate is unacceptable and that it
is imperative that something be done about it. We decide to
take it upon ourselves to do what we can do to help and
bring comfort to others. We commit ourselves to doing so.
We are not too busy. We can be bothered. We are actively
involved. We take action. We serve. We give. And, we have
fun.
As Rotarians worldwide, we are united by a single belief –
that 1.2 million of us worldwide working together in a
myriad of small ways will make a huge difference in
improving the lives of our brothers and sisters on Planet
Earth.
If you share our passion for serving others, Rotary is
where you belong. To learn more about Rotary, please join
us at a meeting of the Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club. We
meet every Tuesday morning at 7:00 am over breakfast at the
Country Springs Hotel in Waukesha. We look forward to
getting to know you!
Please share your comments and suggestions
with me.
