RCKGM Weekly Bulletin (December 6th, 2021) (Dec 06, 2021)

Happy Monday to all Fellow Rotarians!

A whopping HK$42,000 was raised from the Virtual Triathlon thanks to our PE Simon's efforts & encouragement which came to a successful finish last Tuesday with all participants feeling fitter & healthier. The competitive spirit was high throughout the month and surely some world records may have been set. Althou for some of us all the pounds shed over the past 30 days were effortlessly added back the very next day on the fellowship dinner with irresistible food and free flowing wine. Wow! Talk about good timing!

But when it comes to KGM Fellowships, I'm sure they are one of the best Rotary events in town and cannot be missed. Those who couldn't make it on the last dinner, please join us on our next Fellowship dinner planned for the 8th January, details in enclosed leaflet.

Rotary’s Official Mottos

“Service Above Self” and “One Profits Most Who Serves Best” both trace back to the early days of the organization.

In 1911 “He Profits Most Who Serves Best” was approved as the Rotary motto. It was adapted from a speech made by Rotarian Arthur Frederick Sheldon at the first Rotary convention. Sheldon declared that, “Only the science of right conduct toward others pays. Business is the science of human services. He profits most who serves his fellows best.”

At the 1950 RI Convention in Detroit, slightly modified versions of the two slogans were formally approved as the official mottoes of Rotary: “He Profits Most Who Serves Best” and “Service Above Self.” The 1989 Council on Legislation established “Service Above Self” as the principal motto of Rotary,
