Why I am a Rotarian
Dr. Vimal Hemani
It is aptly said that destiny beckons.
Before I became a Rotarian, my idea of a club was a place one visited to have a good time. When I returned to
I joined when Dr Vibhakarbhai Vachhrajani was the president. He casually asked me to come for a medical camp. Witnessing the cheerful, selfless services opened the door of service for me. On that day, I stopped being just a member and became a Rotarian.
Little did I realise that this one decision of mine will have far reaching impact on my life. Within days of joining Rotary club of Rajkot Midtown, I realised what a motivated lot we were...! Never had I seen such dynamism, optimism and enthusiasm in people doing social work for purely selfless motives. I started looking forward to meeting such wonderful people week after week. Slowly I started realising the very wide spectrum of activity that our club is doing. More I came to know, greater became the joy of participation. I had opened the hidden treasure of service and satisfaction that is MIDTOWN. Never had I dreamt that Rotary would take precedence over my profession as it does sometimes today.
I am also grateful to Rotary for giving me many local and international friends whose friendship I shall cherish for life and who are a constant source of inspiration. I shudder to imagine how empty my life would have been without my wonderful friends from Rotary. It is indeed humbling to see very busy people doing so much service quietly and incessantly. And I am happy to be an integral part of this group.
I am today a truly proud Midtowner.
