Rotary Information RI President's Message

Kalyan Banerjee

President, Rotary International

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary,

When we talk about building membership, we all recognize that welcominga new member into a Rotary club is only the beginning of our task. To turna new club member into a committed Rotarian, much more is necessary – and the first step is helping that new member to get involved.

Every Rotarian in every club should know that he or she is not only neededbut relied upon. Every Rotarian should have a job within the club – a role toplay. After all, why are we in Rotary? We are here to make a difference.Yes, we enjoy our Rotary service, but that is not enough if we are to makeRotary a priority week after week, year after year. The knowledge that weare having an impact, that we are changing lives – that is what keeps usgoing, no matter what other demands may compete for our time. And this iswhy each one of us, however long we have been in Rotary, must always bestriving to grow as Rotarians – to find new ways to help others, and to bringabout all the positive change we possibly can. For this, more than anything,is what makes our Rotary service worthwhile.

Whether we are new members or old ones, each of us can find ways tobecome more involved in Rotary service – at the club level, the district level,and beyond. Rotarian Action Groups are a wonderful opportunity to putspecific expertise or interests to work, in a way that brings Rotarians fromevery part of the Rotary world together for a common goal. Whether yourpassion is water and sanitation issues, or microcredit, or blindness prevention

– whether you want to volunteer your dental skills or help organize blooddrives – chances are there is a Rotarian Action Group for you. And if not,why not organize one yourself? You can learn more about Rotarian ActionGroups at www.rotary.org/actiongroups.

Rotary is and always has been an organization based on its clubs. Thepurpose of Rotary International is not to direct its clubs, but to connect,

inform, and support them. Where and how each club, and each Rotarian,chooses to serve, is ultimately the decision of each one alone. So followyour own ambition and your own vision. Open your eyes to the challengesin our world, and use the strength you have through Rotary to find ways toovercome them. Every one of us has so much potential, and can achieve somuch, when we Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.

India

Children at 83 schools in Hyderabad received 2,950 new desks during the2010-11 Rotary year through a project of districts 3150 (India) and 1400(Finland). The state government often struggles to cover teachers’ salaries,and many public schools lack schoolroom basics. Kiran Kumar Reddy, chiefminister of the state of Andhra Pradesh, was on hand for the distribution andpraised Rotarians for their service.

Korea

The newspaper published articles about the elementaryschool-age children and their wishes, which included having their owncomputer, becoming a diplomat, and having enough money to pay hospitalbills.

The newspaper is also running materials from Rotary’s“This Close” public image campaign to highlight the organization’s work toeradicate polio and help children around the world.
