In my job I visit a lot of Rotary clubs. I have visited Rotarys in large metropolises (Chicago, IL) and small cities (Brenham, TX) and it is always fun to get a feel for the club's "personality" (and yes, they are different). But no matter what club I visit they welcome me with open arms. What has made the biggest impact on me has been Rotarians' willingness to help - living up to their motto: "Service Above Self".
Today I was able to attend the Rotary District 5450 State of the State Address with keynote speaker Govenor Bill Ritter. To open the event the District Govenor, Steve Cantrell, updated the audience on Rotary's advancement in eradicating Polio. It is truly amazing what this club has done for children around the world. I learned that the spread of Polio has been limited to 4 countries. Rotary will not stop until Polio is wiped from the world.
What a perfect example of people working together to make a difference...
