Rotary Quote of the Week
"I have made balancing the demands of Rotary with professional and family commitments one of my priorities as president. No Rotarian should feel pressured to put in more time than a volunteer position should ever demand. This is true for several reasons, one of them being that the work we do in our day jobs is just as important to Rotary as the work we do in the organization. We carry our Rotary value everywhere, and our professional success helps build a case for Rotary every day we go into the office."
-Rotary International President Mark Daniel Maloney in the January 2020 Rotarian Magazine
