RI President’s Message - December - Rotary Family Month

Historically, Rotary International, until the mid 1990's, had a fairly steady growth rate that balanced out at being between 1.5 and 2% a year. Since then, worldwide membership has been stable, but North America began a steady decline. Unfortunately, few, if any, past leaders asked the simple question, WHY? The simple answer is found in Rotary's history; Rotary simply forgot Who Rotarians Are and began promoting What Rotarians Do. Every person on earth is a world citizen, almost everyone can pick up trash, but it t a k e s s p e c i a l people wi th enterprising minds t o c r e a t e initiative's like the Easter Seals, the United Nations, UNICEF, and a w o r l d w i d e campaign to el iminate polio. N i n e t y - n i n e percent o f the w o r l d ' s citizens volunteer to do something, but only people with special leadership skills can create and sustain efforts to make their social fabrics better places to live.
