Is There Enough Evidence?

At the recent Utah Rotary District Conference in Park City, RI Representative Bill Sturgeon (Phoenix, Arizona) asked, "If you were arrested on charges of being a good Rotarian . . . would there be enough evidence to convict you? What is a Rotarian?

A Rotarian is a person who . . .
* Digs wells from which he will never drink,
* Vaccinates children he will never meet,
* Restores eyesight to those he will never see,
* Builds houses he will never live in,
* Plants trees he will never sit under,
* Feeds hungry people regardless of race or politics or religion,
* And makes crawlers into walkers, halfway around the world.
A Rotarian is a person who knows real happiness, as Albert Einstein said, "Can only be found by helping others."

Learn more about what transforms a Rotary member into a Rotarian by attending the Utah District Conference in St. George, May 13-15, 2010 (see www.utahrotaryconference.blogspot.com for more information).
