Inspiration

Kevin Oates shared key quotes from famous Rotarians.
  • Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”  Rotarian, Rotary Club of London
  • Thomas Edison: “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Honorary Rotarian member, Orange, NJ
  • Orville Wright: “If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance.” Honorary Rotarian member, Dayton, OH
  • Neil Armstrong: “I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.” Wapakoneta, OH  Rotary member
  • John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Hyannis, MA Rotary member
  • Richard E. Byrd. “Few people during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.”  Winchester, VA  Rotary member
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt: “ The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”  Albany, NY Rotary member
  • Walt Disney: “ The greatest moments in life are not concerned with selfish achievements but rather with the things we do for the people we love and esteem, and whose respect we need.”  Palm Springs, CA Honorary Rotary member.

In Meeting Service Project

Mary Brewster, Project Coordinator, Kizirian School Supplies asked that Rotarians attending today’s meeting help pack up the supplies for distribution to PreK-Grade 5 classrooms to be delivered to partner school Kizirian.
