By now we all
have heard of the ALS Ice
Bucket challenge. Today,
I pass along the
challenge from the
P resi de nt of Rotary
International, Gary
Haung to hold a Rotary
day. Here is his letter
outlining Rotary day.
At the beginning
of this Rotary year, I
asked Rotarians
everywhere to Light Up
Rotary by holding a
Rotary Day. How you do
this is something I'm
leaving up to you: It can
be a full day or just a few
hours. It can be
organized by your club,
by your district, or even
across your entire
country. It can be a
service project, a festival,
or any kind of event you
want. As long as it's open
to the community,
embraces the whole
family of Rotary, and is
fun, it's a Rotary Day.
The goa l of a
Rotary Day is to shine a
light on Rotary. For
many years, we in Rotary
felt that it wasn't
appropriate to boast
about our good work. We
felt it was best to serve
quietly and let our work
speak for itself. But
today, in many
communities, people
aren't even aware that
they have a local Rotary
club. Not because the
clubs aren't strong, or
b e ca use the y a ren' t
serving well. They are.
But if Rotarians don't
talk about their work,
people will never know
about it.
It is time for us to
Light Up Rotary and let
people know what we
are doing. In the first half
of this Rotary year, I've
been thrilled to see how
many Rotarians have
taken up my Rotary Day
cha lle n ge. If y ou' ve
Service Above Self
organized a Rotary Day
in your community, tell
us about it: Email details
and photos of your event
to [email protected],
with "Rotary Day" as
your subject line. We'll
do our best to feature as
many Rotary Days as
possible in the coming
months.
It's a great way to
share your love for
Rotary with your
community. When we
tell others about Rotary
and let them know how
membership can enrich
their lives, we share a
gift that was given to us
when we were invited to
join our clubs. By
passing that gift on, we
help ensure that Rotary,
and its service, will
endure for generations
to come.
As a club, we have
many wonderful
programs that can
qualify as a Rotary Day,
lets shine the light on the
great works that we do.
