WHY I AM A ROTARIAN: ELDON “DOOLEY” GREER
DECEMBER 9, 2007
WWW.WHYIAM.ORG

I like Rotary for its informality, its casualness, its friendly and cordial spirit; it’s placing all people on one common plane for a genuinely friendly world through tolerance and understanding.

I like to be called by my first name. I appreciate the hearty handclasp and friendly smile. I enjoy the gentle ribbing without malice. I am uplifted by the sentiments expressed by many [Rotary] speakers. I am proud of the accomplishments of our club.

I thank Rotary for having made me a better man, for giving me a new insight into my responsibilities to my country and community, and for the opportunity afforded me to form new lasting friendships that are community-wide, nation wide and world wide. And a little hard work never hurt anyone.

Eldon "Dooley" Greer
