We are looking for the Missing Piece

Weekend is often the time to relax and reflect...to get away from the speed of daily routine...to slow down a bit, sit in the sun, close your eyes, and reflect on your life.  Think about Rotary how it has changed your life...for all the new friends and families that have come into your life, and the opportunities you have received to think beyond your immediate family and do something for the people around you; in your neighbourhood, in your community, amongst your professional or business circles. And how you have become an importance cog in the Rotary's worldwide wheel of that's churning out peace through service.

Rotary is all about momentum exciting Rotarians and their families around the world to look at the world in much more meaningful way, and lending amazing power in each one of us to bring about change, positive change, around us.  Because each and everyone of us, you and I, matter the most in this vast world of 1.2 million proud Rotarians, who are committed to make our lives meaningful. 

Every day is an opportunity to touch a life somewhere, not because someone wants us to do... because we are intended to do good. 

I was watching the Rotary International's humanity in motion video on "The Missing Piece".  It was intended to look for members for the community who are oriented to do good, and can join be a part of Rotary family.  At the same time, however, it stuck me that it fits the Rotarians too.  Rotarians who have not been able to come to the Club for sometime because of any reason; Rotarians who are not being seen around anymore...the missing pieces.  We miss you in the family.   Just get back and connect, because you are the most powerful being destined to transform lives.

Hats off to Rotarians in India

A must watch video...an inspiration that the entire world's eyes are on every Rotarian in India...for having accomplished and completed two years of polio-free period on 13th January.  There is one more year to go, that requires everyone of us ensuring that no child is left when we go ahead and participate in the next NID. We have to ensure that everyone follows the routine immunisation for their children...our children
