Objectives of Our Team for 1949-50: 1. Each new member admitted into a
Rotary club to be adequately informed about his duties and obligations
BEFORE his induction -- properly introduced to the club -- and
effectively assimilated into the work of the club during the first
year; 2. A better understanding and application of the
principles of Vocational Service as set forth in SERVICE IS MY
BUSINESS; 3. A contribution to world understanding and peace through
an intensification of our international service program; 4. An
outstanding district conference in every district.
|
|
|
|
1950-51
|
Goals
for 1950-51: 1. In club service we must beget our heirs; 2. in vocational
service honesty is still the best policy; 3. In community service we
can plan for the future; 4. In international service we must reexamine
our world; 5. And finally we can extend the influence of Rotary.

My first response is that there are three great mottos here, (1) Consolidate, Investigate, Translate, (2) Service and (3) Service, Unqualified, Unconditional. Second, he embraces the universal concept of service, and everything else in Rotary is a subset. Doug Rudman |
