Why I Am A Rotarian
May 27, 2007
As a Group Study Exchange Team
Member to District 5470 in April 2005, I experienced so many
good things in the company of my Rotarian host families in
Colorado and that made me decide to join the wonderful world of
Rotary. I would join if I were to get invited.
As we reached the last leg of
our trip (Vail, CO), I finally decided that I would find a way
to join Rotary even if my sponsoring club did not invite me.
When I came home to the Philippines, I was overwhelmed with how
my new Rotarian friends from Colorado still continued to
interact with me through e-mail.
My sponsoring club, RC Metro
Lipa, had always invited me to join their meetings and
fellowship and so I while visiting with them I had the chance to
learn more and more about Rotary. I did not have to think twice
when I was at last invited into membership, and now I am ready
to show visiting GSE Team members what “promoting international
understanding” really means -- especially now that I am a part
of the wonderful world of Rotary.
Day in and day out, I learn more
about Rotary from having seen how Rotary works in making other
people’s lives better.
