When You Are Called |
|
As a member of RCSFLU, we pray most
fervently that you did not join the club to be a RINO (Rotarian in Name
Only)…for being a Rotarian takes more than that! You are expected to immerse
yourself …to take part in activities…to get involved…to make Rotary a part of
your life! There is
nothing more frustrating to the Day Chairman
than the members’ refusal to take part. Take the most common
case of participation in the weekly program. This is really the first
chance given to be part of Rotary…but many a member would rather sit back and
just watch rather than participate…they would refuse any assignment for the
flimsiest excuse! A Rotarian
who declines to take part in club activities will most likely refuse to get
involved in community projects. He
could never be called upon to
contribute physically in Rotary’s efforts to improve the quality of
life in his surroundings. He feels that it’s enough that he pays his dues
…attends all meetings and social functions. The Rotarian
is imbued with “Service Above Self”. He cares about his club and Community.
It bothers him that there are people who get sick or die without medical
attention…people who go to bed hungry at night…children who are doomed to the
eternal darkness of illiteracy. He
feels “violated” when people are persecuted because of their religious belief, their political thoughts. He is moved by injustice in any form. And
he reacts. These are big words, one might say. But that is the meaning of Rotary… and we start with the basics, such as participation in the club’s |
|
activities and programs. Why did you join Rotary? Why are you still in Rotary? Think about
it… (Note: This was lifted from Ing Siwala
which the Editor deemed for reading.) |
