"Rotary, shaped by the
changes that influenced the course of the 20th century, is now part of the
fabric of global society. The story of Rotary is the story of Rotarians;
ordinary men and women called to the role of service. If the history of
Rotarians’ contributions to Australia and the world can encourage greater
'Service Above Self' and contribute to a wider understanding of the 'Object
of Rotary', it should significantly add to an appreciation of why Rotary
will be needed more tomorrow than it was yesterday."
