“All the News that Fits We Print”
Before the Bell
Preparations were well under way for the upcoming Lobster Feed. The tent was up and tables put out, but a boat load of work remains. This meeting is all about putting it all together in time for the big dinner, show, and party starting at 4:30 pm tomorrow. Diana Rich was saying that while it appears there is a lot to do, the Sebastopol Rotary Club always brings it together.
At the Bell Whistle
Still no rotary Bell so President Bob used a whistle to “Ring the Bell”, and called on Tony Given to lead the Flag Salute. Karen Daniels led us in a rousing version of “God Bless America”. Mark Stevens provided the Thought for the Day.
“Life is like a camera
focus on what's important
capture the good times
develop from the negatives
and if things don't work out
take another shot”
[Karen was already getting mentally prepared for Lobsta cooking –Ed]

THE ABC’s of Rotary
(Taken from “The ABCs of Rotary”, a Rotary International publication originally prepared by Dr. Cliff Dochterman who was RI President in 1992-93)
#6: Object of Rotary
In some areas of the world weekly Rotary club meetings begin with all members standing and reciting the Object of Rotary. This statement, which comes from the Constitution of Rotary, is frequently seen on a wall plaque in Rotarians' offices or place of business.
The Object of Rotary is "to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.” The statement then lists four areas by which this "ideal of service" is fostered: through the development of acquaintance as the opportunity for service; the promotion of high ethical standards in business and professions; through service in one's personal, business and community life; and the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace.
The Object of Rotary has not always been expressed in this manner. The original Constitution of 1906 had three objects: promotion of business interests, promotion of good fellowship and the advancement of the best interests of the community. By 1910 Rotary had five Objects as increased emphasis was given to expanding Rotary. By 1915 there were six Objects. In 1918 the Objects were rewritten again and reduced to four. Four years later they had again grown to six and were revised again in 1927.
Finally, at the 1935 Mexico City Convention the six Objects were restated and reduced to four. The last major change came in 1951, when the "Objects" were streamlined and changed to a single "Object" which is manifested in four separate ways. The "ideal of service" is the key phrase in the Object of Rotary. This ideal is an attitude of being a thoughtful and helpful person in all of one's endeavors. That's what the Object truly means.
