Inspiration was given by Kris David.
As Rotarians, it’s is good to recognize how different we are - our talents, our dreams, our occupations, and no one is exactly like anyone else. Even our thumb print and our voice track tell us how unique we are. Yet, we are all thankful that we can take these differences and mobilize them for the good of Rotary and our community. We are people of action.
In our differences, we can think of the same thoughts and move together toward a common goal. Our guiding principals tell us to always respect each other’s differences and allow everyone to have the opportunity to share their ideas and talents. That is the strength of Rotary and our club.
