Education day for Rotarians

It is called Rotary 101 but some feel it is more of a graduate level course. On Tuesday May 29th Assistant District Governor (ADG) Marilyn Chambers presented the Rotary 101 course to members at their regular meeting. The Power Point for the course is available in the "Downloads" link on the left side of this home page. Who knew that the first Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camp was in Australia? Another tricky question was the distinction between Rotary's 100th birthday convention in Chicago in 2005 and the 2009 Centennial Convention in Birmingham, England. Historical questions such as those were interesting but of far more relevance was that Rotary once had two mottoes, "Service Above Self" which is the current single motto and "He Profits Most Who Serves Best". Members found the presentation "interesting" and informative.
