Rotary is a family, whether it be at our club level (where we usually know each other quite well) or on a larger scale, District level, where we connect with each other, but usually on a less frequent time frame. The larger family or the International family, is our opportunity to help others in need and to build a better world for all. Each of these three components begin at the grass-roots level. |
