RI President Monthly messages August 2013 Dear fellow Rotarians,

Our goal in 201314 is to Engage Rotary, Change Lives . All of us know that Rotary has incredible potential to do good work. Its time to recognize how much more we could be doing and start working on new ways to turn that potential into reality. Were going to do this by engaging Rotarians by getting them involved, by getting them inspired, and by making sure that all Rotarians know just what a gift they have in Rotary. Were going to make sure that the work we do in Rotary is solid, effective, and sustainable. And were going to make sure that Rotary itself will last by committing to our goal of 1.3 million Rotarians in our clubs by the year 2015. That goal is a little different from membership goals weve had in the past. The goal isnt just bringing in new members. The goal is growing Rotary. The goal is making Rotary bigger, not just with more members, but with more involved, engaged, motivated members who will be the ones to lead us into our future. Each of us has our own reason for joining Rotary but I believe we all want to make a difference. We all want to be doing something meaningful. That is absolutely essential for us to remember when we talk about membership. Were not asking just anyone to join Rotary. Were looking to attract busy, successful, motivated people who care. Were asking them to take their valuable time and give it to Rotary. So if they say yes, and they come and join our club, then wed better be showing them that their time in Rotary is well spent. We have to make sure that every Rotarian, in every club, has a meaningful job one that makes a real difference to the club and the community. Because when youre doing something meaningful in Rotary, Rotary is meaningful to you. In Rotary, we all have something to give. At every stage of our lives and our

careers, Rotary has something for all of us a way to let us do more, be more, and give more. Rotary gives our lives more meaning, more purpose, and greater satisfaction. And the more we give through Rotary, the more Rotary gives back to us in return.

Many Many Happy returns of the day
