2016-2017 Westlock Rotary Convention

 
Recently several members of the Rotary Club of Fort Nelson attended the annual Rotary District Convention in Westlock, Alberta.  Among the speaker was the new incoming District Governor, Frank Reitz who hails from Fort McMurray.  He recited a poem that resonated with the attendees.  
 

It Isn't the Town, It's You

IF YOU WANT to live in the kind of a town
That's the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.You'll find elsewhere what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.

It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town;
It isn't your town — it's you.

Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everybody works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead.  And if while you make your stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,

Your town will be what you want to see,
It isn't your town — it's you.
