WHY I AM A ROTARIAN: FEDERICO COMPEAN III
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
WWW.WHYIAM.ORG
I’m a Rotarian because of very fond memories. Rotary reminds me
of my Grand Father who was a charter member of the San Luis
Potosi RC in 1925 and District Governor in 1943/1944 and was a
roll model for me.
It brings my youth up front as I remember going with my Father
to International Conventions, District Conferences, parties and
Club meetings.
The first time I spoke in public, was to my fathers RC at our
return from the International Convention on November 13th, 1957
I was seven. My Father was also District Governor, 50 years
after my Grand Father in 1993/1994
I’m a Rotarian, because most of my friends are Rotarians,
because Rotary has been a University for me. It has taught me to
listen instead of just hearing, to communicate instead of just
talking, to coordinate instead of leading, it has taught me the
greatness of some and the humility of others. It has taught me
to be a good person.
I’m a Rotarian because I like to serve and help people, and
Rotary gives me the opportunity to do so in an organized and
international manner.
I’m a Rotarian, because I’m VERY proud of what we do.
