Rotary - An Appreciation by Potomac-Bethesda Rotary Club Charter Member Dick Gordon from the Potomac-Bethesda Rotary Club Newsletter, November 9, 2006

I have been a member of the Potomac-Bethesda Rotary Club since January, 1980, when it was a provisional club waiting to be chartered by Rotary International. Joe Jennette was my sponsor. He had arranged for a notice to be published in a local weekly newspaper inviting former Rotarians to join, and I responded eagerly.

I had previously served in three Rotary Clubs in Southeast Asia, beginning in January, 1955. Those memberships totaling about seven years were most interesting and gratifying, and helped me tremendously in my public relations work for the U.S. Information Agency’s overseas program. I was active in all three clubs - - serving intermittently as International Director, Program Chairman and Bulletin Editor.
