Here's a very nice quote I'd like to share by Buddha, "Life is an echo, What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get, What you see in others, exists in you. Remember, life is an echo. It always gets back to you"

Rotary Fact:
The Official Rotary Flag
The first official Rotary flag reportedly was flown in Kansas City, Missouri in January 1915. In 1922 a small Rotary flag was carried over the South Pole by Admiral Richard Byrd, a member of the Winchester, Virginia Rotary Club. Four years later, the admiral carried a Rotary flag in his expedition to the North Pole. An official flag was formally adopted by Rotary International at the 1929 Convention in Dallas, Texas.
