Rotary Minute

• Led by Rot. Ayse:

  • Your Weekly Rotary Minute, brought to you by the Rotary Club of Palgrave (week 9)

    By Gary Walters

    As Rotarians, we receive monthly publications titled “The Rotarian”. One is international and one focusses on Canadian Clubs. Each edition is filled with the stories of wonderful projects to support humanity all across the globe. Projects ranging from small, localized initiatives to better one’s own community to those that take the world by storm (think Polio Plus).

    While reading through these magazines, it struck me that every good deed, every successful project was all started by ONE person who had a passion for an idea.

    They then brought that idea to their Club which enabled the passion to spread and the idea then became a project.

    Sometimes, it spreads from Club to Club and becomes much bigger than even the original passionate soul could have imagined.

    That is the power of passion and Rotary.
