Why I Am A Rotarian

FEBRUARY 28, 2006

 

“…Rotarians are ordinary people who are taking the opportunities that Rotary has given them to serve without conceit or pride or any sense of being special. This is unselfish service performed in an envi­ronment of warm fellowship...

…I joined Rotary with high expectations. My expectations have been exceeded, and my wife, Lorna, and I have found that Rotary has become an integral part of our lives.

I am a Rotarian because Rotary changes lives. I know this because Rotary has changed mine.”

 

William B. Boyd

RI President-elect 2006-07    

Director Rotary  International, 1998-2000

Member of the Rotary Club of Pakuranga, New Zealand
