DG Simmer expounded on Rotary’s Vision Statement: Together we see a world where people unite to create lasting change across the globe, in our communities and in ourselves. Even though Rotary has thirty five thousand clubs with projects of their own, we have a common goal to share our vision, become people of action, harness the energy of the younger generation through Interact, Rotaract and RYLA, bring about lasting change with projects that have sustainability using local resources commonly available, bring communities together on local issues by networking, creating lasting friendships and fundraising. Using the tools available through Rotary, the community and ourselves, we can make lasting changes in the world and use Rotary’s six areas of focus as building blocks to create peace, enabling communities of the world to work together.
It was wonderful to see and hear DG David Simmer talk about the mission statement of Rotary. I hope he helped all of you to become more inspired to further our clubs good work both in our community and the world. I know it inspired me. I am looking forward to seeing you all this Wednesday morning.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Nelson Mandela
