 41st Convention - Detroit, June 18-22 with 6,949 in attendance

Percy Hodgson, Pawtucket, Rhode Island

"He Profits Most Who Serves Best" and "Service Above Self" are adopted as mottos of Rotary.

 

During the discussion of enactment 50-08, a member of the RC St. Pancras, London seconded the motion. At least ten years ago, I visited this old London club and was surprised by the uncommonly friendly atmosphere ("Gemütlichkeit"). The club had severe problems concerning its membership; as I recall they then had fifteen members. Today I called the RIBI secretary in Warwickshire and was happy to learn that the club still exists (ten members). Size doesn't always count. Wolfgang Ziegler, 2009

Proposed enactment 50-10: It seems, that the RC of Ahmedabad, India, was nearly 30 years ahead of RI. Congratulation!
