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.
