Rotary Foundation Thought for the Week

It is with great sadness that we report on the passing of our fellow member and friend, Joe Adamczyk . On Tuesday Barry Kroll sent out a note advising the club that Joe passed away on Monday, January 3rd. Joe was a member of the Rotary Club of Madison since January, 1982, and with his wife Nancy, was an active participant and Paul Harris Fellow. A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 10:30 A.M. at Grace Episcopal Church in Madison, N.J. Condolences can be sent to Nancy at: 27 Edgewood Road Madison, New Jersey 07940

We will all miss joe very much. Our hearts and prayers, and the prayers of all of our members go out to Nancy and their family.

Did you catch the Rotary Float during the Parade of the Roses (Rose Bowl Parade) on New Year’s Day? Rotary has entered a float in the parade every year since 1980, and

raises the profile of Rotary. For more information on the float check out the website of the Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee at: www.RotaryFloat.org.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FELLOWSHIP (From the ABCs of Rotary) Most Rotarians are successful professional and business executives because they hear opportunities knock and take advantage of them. Once a week the opportunity

for Rotary fellowship occurs at each club meeting, but not all members hear it knocking.

The weekly club meeting is a special privilege of Rotary membership. It provides the occasion to visit with fellow members, to meet visitors you have not known before, and

to share your personal friendship with other members.

Rotary clubs, which have a reputation of being “friendly clubs” usually, follow a few simple steps: First, members are encouraged to sit in a different seat or at a different

table each week. Second, Rotarians are urged to sit with a member they may not know as well as their long-time personal friends. Third, members invite new members or visitors to join their table just by saying: "Come join us, we have an empty chair at

this table." Fourth, members share the conversation around the table rather than merely eating in silence or talking privately to the person next to them. Fifth, Rotarians

make a special point of trying to get acquainted with all members of the club by seeking out those they may not know.

When Rotarians follow these five easy steps, an entirely new opportunity for fellowship knocks each week. Soon Rotarians realize that warm and personal friendship is the

cornerstone of every great Rotary club.
