THE POWER OF ONE by Past RI President Frank Devlyn (Mexico)
"One of the most amazing things about the success of Rotary is that it is achieved entirely by volunteers. It all starts because one Rotarian wants something to happen, not because some boss tells him or her to do it, or to fulfill a mission statement that is posted on a wall somewhere. Every successful project that Rotary has ever accomplished has begun at the grass roots level in the minds and hearts of individual Rotarians.â€
(From Frank's Book: Frank Talk I, p. 106
Rotary humanitarian and educational projects are funded most often by small amounts of money given by large numbers of Rotarians to the Annual Programs Fund and combing those funds to do great things.
TRF Trustee Lou Piconi recently stated “…we do hope every Rotarian would feel the pride of the achievements and programs of The Rotary Foundation and then choose to make an annual contribution each and every year. That is the bottom line message that Rotary club leaders should convey with sincerity and conviction.â€
PRIP Frank is a remarkable Rotarian, I have met him several times and he is a treasure chest of ideas for Rotarians. Check his website at:
